Color Slide Film | Everything You Need to Know

I love your new studio-ish look!

what about flic chrome 100 now

Started out doing GAF slide film. 45 years ago. I still have a few. They have faded but that’s time and how I (didn’t ) keep them well

I love my slide film. I got a Nikon camera, I like to take photographs. Kodachrome gives us those nice bright colors, gives us those greens of summer. Makes you think all the world's a sunny day.
You said it though, exposure is key. Nikon FA made slide film a snap for the home user w/ Matrix metering & TTL flash. Then F4 took it to the nect level, Matrix balanced TTL fill flash @ 1/250.

Can you tell me what i need to make slide films from photographs?

eraserhead?

What's this film called "It's called Negative film because it's REVERSES the colors"
But what about this film? "It's called REVERSAL film because it doesn't reverse the colors but they remain positive"
Why not call it positive film "Ummm, well it's a bit late to change it now"

This is such a great video, thanks so much!

Is there a way to turn digital photos into slides?

Great video. I remember the plethora of varieties that used to be available. E100 came in vivid, vivid saturated, and saturated warm. And there were so many other options. The photography store that I managed had a refrigerator full of pro films in 4x5, 120, 220, and 35mm. Many pros bought by the pro pack (5 rolls) or by the brick (20 rolls). They also wanted the same emulsion for their shoot. Ah, the glory days of film.

great content

Spotted Majors Hill Park in Ottawa

He's Canadian, huh? Thanks for all the helpful info!

Way way back in the dark ages, when I shot E6 or Kodachrome with my Canon AE-1, good exposure was hit or miss, so I bracketed at least -1,0,+1. Then I borrowed my cousin's Olympus OM-4T because I was intrigued by the multi-spot metering and I nailed every exposure - and that saved $$$, time, and effort. I saved up and bought a 4T of my own.

Im doing the same thing with my grandpas collection but half of the photos are in metal casings any tips??

Amazing content, thank you!

To check, I can use slide film in a normal 35mm camera? Like if I have a Minolta X300, I can put in a roll of normal colour negative, then slide film, and it'll be fine? No other settings or things to change beyond ISO?

Damn I've never tried slide film before, and always stayed away from it because I guess I thought it had worse photo quality. Thanks to your video and finding out my local film lab develops E-6, I'm definitely gonna go pick some up and try it out! Thanks!!

Back in the day(not too long ago) Most publications such as books, magazines, billboards not to mention museums, only accepted slides as their source. If you look at an old National Geographic magazine you might think the pictures were taken with a digital camera. Slide film had less grain, although that can be attributed to the low ISO on most slide film. To make prints out of slides for publication was and exacting 3 color process that required a lot of skill. There were also home kits such as Cibachrome and R300 that made it possible for anyone with a darkroom to process prints at home, but the chemicals and papers for those processes have gone extinct, never to comeback. Digital made sure of that ... I'm thinking about getting an old Kodak carousel projector and a silver-screen myself, so I can view my slides like they were meant to be viewed(like you said). In my opinion, no other medium beats that.

E6 is my weakness 👍

Topic for the future PLEASE - best way to digitize your slide collection at the highest possible resolution. Consumer-grade solutions aren't making the grade at all. How did you do yours?

Noah, I am interested in knowing more about slide film, when projected on a clear plain wall with the curtains closed and the lights turned off, what aspect ratio are the photos displayed at

I haven't been able to find X-Pro slide film anywhere. Can you tell me where can I buy some?

This is an excellent introduction. Thank you.

thank you your video has been so helpful

Could you shoot a movie, say a large format like IMAX, on positive film stock?

Bravo👍👍. Excellent video. I suggest that you produce another video on how to examine the slides in a light box, using an appropriate loupe, and sort your slides for projecting, or scanning and printing.. that would be great. Thank you again for what your doing for the community of film photography Lovers. Take care..

I like the astro-Not images shot on the NASA film stage. It transports me back to a time when things were much simpler.

I´ve brought two rolls of PROVIA but I ain´t shoot yet and your informations helped me to know what I should know to do it the right way. Thanks and regards from Brazil.

120mm Ektachrome is now available too

y'know I am actually really digging the lack of exposure range

I'm an absolute noob and I bought a lot of e100 for more than I'd like to admit. My light meter is broke in my m-1 wish me luck lmao

Ok. Crazy question.
Could you in theory . Buy a lomokino or a Nikon F5 and shoot the entire roll of film to be a projected movie. Is that even possible?

Hey Noah, thanks for the video. I'm just curious but who is the band you captured on those FUJI negatives at the beginning of the video? Looks like it could be from a music video?

I've just come across some old slide film which I'm considering using. I usually use a point and shoot rather than anything which needs adjustments for aperture etc (generally, I use an Olympus AF-10). Would a point and shoot be too risky in terms of over/underexposing the slide film?

Being of the age group that experienced kodacrome 64, I wish, like many photographs the world over would hope and pray that kodak would reintroduced it or rather a film that would be equal to it because it did have a different chemical process to the standard slide E6 process. Ah those where the days when you could walk into your local Kodak supplier and buy a roll or two of what was the best 35mm film IMO shoot it then send it in the mail via a pre paid postage and processing envelope and a week to 10 days later get back your already cut and mounted slides, (I think unmounted and in strips of 6 was an option if I remember correctly) ready for viewing on a big screen or hand viewer for those of us who didn't have a projector. Come of it viewing unprinted images isn't a new digital thing lol.

Back when Kodachrome was "cheap", I used to bracket my images on an AE-1 Canon. So, one of the three came out great, and I used to save the mounts on the others and toss the photo. That's when you could afford to experiment. Now, not so much, although in theory, bracketing would still work. What do you think?

I’ve found that the new Ektachrome was about $15-17.00 per roll, but processing and mounting was only $10.00, as opposed to negative developing and a set of prints was $15-16.00.
I love looking at and projecting slides!
Thanks

Slides are the ultimate in organic photography in modern times. As good as it can get for now. More work ... but it’s pure satisfaction when you finished developing them!

Color reversal films might be the amazing thing it exists on film photography

I shot mi first roll of Portra 160 in 120 medium format, I recently had a look at the first scans, I was thinking: "Yes, I will improve after this roll and become more used to my Zeiss Ikon Ikonta M!" That poor little camera broke on me while testing. I paid 80 euros for it, and I kind expected that... I had an Agfa Billy-Record and that camera broke even BEFORE I could find a roll to shoot. They are good looking camera though. I will stick around with a fucking Hasselblad, I hope.

Thanks for this video. Very detailed and easy to understand.

I’m sure it’s been asked but can you use slide film reliably in a point and shoot? Or does it need the precision of exposing manually?

Which format of slide film is the best? 35mm, 6X6, 6X7 or 6X9 ?

Hi @Analog Resurgence,
Love the channel!
I have a few canisters of 100 FT ROLL KODAK VERICOLOR SLIDE FILM C-41 but I have no idea what or how they are used... Have you ever used it? Or have any information about it? Thank you!

Really enjoyed your fascinating video… cheers matey

did you do a video on how to best archive slide film? i am very keep to know how to best preserve it

Why isn't high iso slide film not produced anymore? Provia 400x and Ektachrome 320 seemed like really good options at the time. Does it have to with film chemicals and their latitude just being difficult to produce at a massive scale?

It's so touching to look at young guys that love and support the analog period, that is incredibly rich. Thx for this video. I've learnt a lot !
