Making YouTube Videos With a Film Camera is Hard! | The PetaPixel Podcast
Chris Niccolls and Jordan Drake have been trying to finish a review of the Kodak Super8 camera but have found one unassailable truth in doing so: shooting on film for YouTube is very, very hard.
From now until September 1st, you can snag some incredible deals, including $300 off the OM-1 Mark II body. It’s usually priced at $2,399.99, but right now, it’s just $2,099.99. It’s a fantastic opportunity to pick one up if you’ve been considering it!
You can also save $300 on the OM-5 along with the M.Zuiko 12-45mm F4.0 PRO lens. Normally $1,599.99, it’s now available for only $1,299.99. For those of you wanting to go all out, check this out: Bundle the OM-1 Mark II with the 150-600mm F5.0-6.3 IS lens AND the MC-20 2x teleconverter and save a whopping $830. You can get that kit now for $4,699.97. Plus, OM SYSTEM is offering discounts on their entire range of M.Zuiko macro lenses.

It’s not even the actual shooting that could be considered the most challenging aspect — and that is rough considering the cost of film and the limited time per reel. Rather, the team discusses all of the other hurdles that have made releasing their final review challenging.
Also this week, I provide an update on the repair of my late father’s beloved Nikon film cameras and the three of us discuss HDR photos and videos and whether or not we should publish our future smartphone reviews in HDR. On that note, let us know if you would like to see HDR video and photo on YouTube or if you’re perfectly happy with the way things are.
