Very much enjoyed the whole thing, thanks again for simply putting in the time to do these very considered and thoughtful videos. One thing I wonder about (can't recall whether you've talked about this before) is how many people actually understand how different a rangefinder camera is from an SLR. Was thinking about this when you were talking about metering and aperture: aperture->depth of field is the thing that rangefinders can't help you with in the viewfinder, which is why zone focusing is such a big deal. I actually love this about film Leicas, because it adds the extra frisson of wondering what the rendering will be for a given composition/lens when you get the film back, if you are not stopped down.

Great points as usual David and thanks for all your support. Glad to provoke the occasional question and offer some fun along the way. Some people Ive know measure Depth of Field out with a tape measure. The rest comes down to experience/practice I guess.

My thoughts on colour film developing at home, having done it myself now for 8 years. Depends on developer for B&W, but C41 colour is pretty quick and often faster than B&W. The newer Bellini chemistry kits available here in the UK are not too expensive and are superb, so would think vastly cheaper and quicker to do C41 DIY than send to lab. E6 takes longer and requires a few more bottles but again very doable and obvs much cheaper than labs. But E6 film (basically now Ektachrome E100 only) is now vastly expensive per roll, sadly. For colour dev all you really need to gain confidence with is a good way of keeping the waterbath at an overall temperature of 38ºC across the first development time especially (NB doesn't have to be at 38ºC all the way through: you can start hotter and allow it to cool.). Various ways of doing this, from very cheap to very expensive!

Your channel has indispensable in my journey with film - thank you so much! Do you have any previous coverage of ND filters and the like? It’s a topic I’ve been curious about. 🙏🏽

Great stuff as usual. Just to ket you know prices of Kodak films have gone down significantly. Tri-X 36 shots is now about 9 dollars in the US. Same as HP5.

Thank you Matt for sharing your inspiring angle of view. Sorry for asking, refering to your older vlog on M11, which I found very sensable. That time you owned M10 or M10-P. Didn't you go well with M10? Or bw outcome was not to your taste? I found M240 more suitable for bw output with customizable colour chanels(say colour filtering).

It went extremely well and haven't a bad word to say about the M10. My favourite digital camera of all time but I seem to only shoot film these days. I have no experience with the M240.
