This Brand New Color Film is Incredible! metal fingers 2025-07-16 | Harman Phoenix II is finally here! Having had this film under strict media use only, I'm stoked to finally be able to talk and share my results with you guys. This is BRAND NEW FILM from Harman in both 35mm and 120 formats. Not a remake of their first Phoenix, a complete, from the ground up, new color emulsion from Ilford's sister comany, Harman Photo. While in my intial tests I was underwhelmed, upon shooting more of the film in Wyoming, I ended up really enjoying it, especially the medium format version of the film. Please stick around to the the end to see some of the best photos from the film, I promise it's worth it.0:00 phoenix ii medley 0:39 skipping intros is rude1:03 phoenix 1 vs. phoenix 22:33 brand new phoenix ii in the rockies6:38 testing out some portraits7:40 phoenix ii in wyoming10:55 sunrise in the tetons12:23 what do i think of phoenix ii?13:15 shoutout midwest film co13:31 tattoo time babyyyHarman Phoenix II (will update once live):harmanphoto.co.uk/phoenixKeaton:instagram.com/bazooka_mouthMetal Fingers Instagram:instagram.com/metalfingersfilmMidwest Film Co:midwestfilmco.com#filmphotography #filmcamera #35mm

Does Kodak Care About Film Photography...? metal fingers 2025-07-13 | Kodak has recently made some huge changes to their cinema film, vision 3 - as well as cutting down on resellers ability to respool their film. Previously, we were able to snatch up vision 3 pretty easily from a variety of different retailers. However, with Kodak making chemical changes to the film itself, would does this mean for us as film photographers and what does it mean for Cinestill? Let's talk about it.Keaton:https://www.instagram.com/bazooka_mou...Metal Fingers Film:https://www.instagram.com/metalfinger...#filmphotography #filmcamera #35mm
Are Cameras Simply Just Tools..? #photography metal fingers 2025-07-12 | Todd Hido explains how, much like a paintbrush, the camera is simply a tool to depict a scene. Todd also touches base on how much of his work has been done with film, so finding a camera that keeps the same look, digitally, has been a bit of a process for him. Despite this, Todd continues to make some really, really engaging landscape work, none of which is staged. He is truly the definition of a wandering photographer. He also mentions how he likes to photograph like a documentarian, but print like a painter, which I really like.This was taken from Camera West TV's "Todd Hido: Photograph like a documentarian but Print like a painter"#film #filmphotography #photography

Best Kept Secret in Film Photography! metal fingers 2025-06-29 | Kodak has been around for a long time and they have delivered a lot of high quality and diverse products, but one film, Pro Image 100, seems to get forgetting about by most film photographers. Made originally for markets outside of the US, Kodak Pro Image 100 is one of the most versatile, yet budget friendly film stocks. Specifically, Pro Image 100 can handle high temperatures and humid locations all while delivering life like colors, who can't love that? I've only shot a handful of Pro Image 100 rolls, but safe to say I've been quite impressed and am eager to shoot more in the future! I truly think that it's probably Kodak's most underrated film stock, especially for the price point that it comes in at. Let me know if you've shot Pro Image 100 in the comments below and what you think!Keaton:https://www.instagram.com/bazooka_mou...Metal Fingers Film:https://www.instagram.com/metalfinger...#filmphotography #filmcamera #35mm

I Shot the Rollei 35AF.. and I Hated It..? metal fingers 2025-05-18 | Or did I? Well.. It's complicated..The rollei35af is quite an interesting camera. While I love certain aspects of it, I hate other parts of it. While yes, that is a typical thing for many film cameras, with the Rollei 35af, it felt different. While the build quality felt great, it was also it's biggest downfall and why I ended up not really enjoying my time with the camera. Other than that, with loading the camera being the main issue, I overall, did really enjoy the rollei35af otherwise. In a world where new film cameras aren't super abundant, it's great to see MINT stick it's neck out a bit with it's @Rollei35AF project! Sit back, enjoy, and enjoy this pseudo 6 month review of the rollei35af. If you've used the camera, let me know in the comments what you think about it.

Phoenix is Comparable to Kodak? #mediumformat metal fingers 2025-05-09 | From a wide spread of people shooting Harman Photo's Phoenix film in both 35mm & 120, there's a wide range of results, both good and bad. Well, I shot some of their 120 film, which just recently came out about a month or so ago, in the San Juan mountains of Colorado, and was honestly really impressed with the results from this new film. Despite it being still a work in progress, it honestly reminded me a lot of a Professional Kodak Color Film, which is a huge compliment to Harman Photo & their film! Great to see a brand new film stock in 2024, and I'm really excited to see where Harman can go from here.
