A word from Raph â In this course, I explained to you the trick Iâve been using for over eight years to achieve perfectly exposed pictures without ever needing an external light meter. During my travelling years, I was always obsessed with having the lightest set up possible, so I would take my fully mechanical camera, but would always have to either rely on the imprecise built in light meter or a heavy external light meter. Then one day, I stumbled on this method and was completely hooked because of how easy and rapidly applicable it is.

I understandâit can be overwhelming to choose with so many options available.
For everyday use, I usually recommend Kodak Gold 200 or Kodak Ultramax 400 as both are super versatile, offer beautiful, rich colours, and are quite forgiving.
If youâre looking for black-and-white film, Ilford XP2 400 is a great option for ease of use and rich exposure latitude. Alternatively, Foma 100 is also great and will give you a bit more contrast and a grainier look.
