Thank you. I have followed you when you were still going to photography school, and you were using an 8x10 view camera. The blue hair shocked me at first when you started your You Tube channel, but through the years you turned out to produce a very good program. I am an old photographer, I started photography in 1969 and graduated from photography school in 1978. All we used at that time was film. I grew up with it. You are the only channel I have come across that is this thorough and informative with analog photography. I have seen many You Tube videos by photographers talking about film who really don't know what they are doing or talking about. You are like a breath of fresh air in analog photography. Thanks again.

Thank you so much for such kind words. Growing up with film, that sounds like a dream! And photo schools back in the days were so much superior to how we're taught nowadays... It was hard for me to find a grad school with a good darkroom, actually, with a darkroom at all. Since then though, I see a lot of change in universities, introducing more film courses,, and I'm really hoping for the trend to continue.

Agfa doesn’t sell film for general photography, just for video surveillance and aerial photography (hence the increased sensitivity to infrared). Rollei (well, Maco - those of the shop Macodirect) buys this film and packs it for photography (35mm and 120 rolls, 4x5 sheets). It’s not old stock nor rebranding of film that you can buy from others.

I wish there was a true infared film still made, I've been experimenting with putting dark red/ir filters on my flash to shoot in dark scenarios without being obnoxious and foma 400, rollei 400 IR (which now I'm concerned isn't even their film), and JCH streetpan give decent results but still need an f1.4 lens with slow shutters to pull it off.

Hello, thank you for uploading this fantastically informative video. By any chance would you know of a resource that carries the Adox CMS 20 ii film in a 120 film format? I am on the United States and I find it hard to get it in 35mm nonetheless 120. Also, I came across a kit from Adox for their B&W development kit that includes the chemical mixes for the development process but, they are not in stock and the stores do not know when or if they will get them back in stock. I am brand new to photography and all I have are very strong visions of the types of pictures I want to create. Any guidance you can offer me would be so greatly appreciated. Thank you

I'm also a big fan of the ADOX lines, but I wish they'd get off the 35mm box and get into the 120; I know it used to be made before but it's not been available anywhere in the UK for years. I mostly only shoot 120. I am dying to get CMS 20 into my 120 camera and many of the other ADOX lines.

I think every video you do should have some kind of product link either related to the video or favorite equipment, or suggested books, or something. It can only add income and be helpful at the same time. Perhaps a standard group of links should be included along with video specific links, or seasonal links. That way you maximize the video's value to your income. Certainly there must be books on Amazon related to almost every topic. Additionally, if you have an online store of your own, perhaps that could be there as well. If you discuss the zone system there are books on that, or color correction or balancing light, then there are tons of things one may use in those areas. Possibly you may have to check the links from time to time to make sure they are still working, that may be the only downside, but even then, it's not like a link will go bad anytime soon. Best wishes!

You got the spectral sensitivity of Foma 200 wrong. Your figure says that it's the same as Foma 100, but it's not. Look up the technical data sheet and you'll find that the three Foma B&W films all have different graphs, and in fact, Foma 200 has the widest sensitivity of the Foma films, going slightly into the infrared.

Caution: Foma and FP4 curves use tungsten light, not equal energy, so they mostly show light source spectrum. The ACROS curve uses 5500K daylight. Harman claim ALL their curves use tungsten light, but this is false. In truth all Harman and Foma films are quite flat over the sensitised range, with only depth of red sensitisation controlling red response. Also some EE curves show sharply rising response from 450 to 400nm, but this has little relevance as few light sources except xenon flash output much at these wavelengths.
