AgfaPhoto APX 400 | Photographic Film Review

AgfaPhoto APX 400 is an affordable but reliable 35mm black & white film. It is also very flexible as it is already fast at 400 ISO but can be pushed to 1600 ISO. There is also an APX 100 version. All in all this is a great film for the beginner and experienced alike. It offers good contrast and good resolution with relatively little grain. With film prices being what they are, it is nice to have a reliable film, that can give Ilford HP5 Plus a run, at an affordable price.

I hope you enjoy the video and look out for more film reviews coming soon.

Cinestill 800T | Photographic Film Review

sccjono — Mon, 31 Jan 2022 20:26:15 +0000

For the first in a series of photographic film reviews, I have chosen the very distinctive look of Cinestill 800T. An ISO of 800 makes it great for night or low light shooting. But unlike others, Cinestill is based on movie stock and is tungsten colour balanced to give a very cinematic look. Also, because the so called “remjet” layer is missing from the film’s emulsion, you get a halation effect around bright light sources. However there is nothing to stop you using this film during the day but perhaps pull the film to around 660 for best results. Pushing is also very achievable up to around 1600 in low light. All in all, one of my favourite film stocks to use.

Hopefully I’ll feature your favourite film in the next video.
