Comparing iPhone to 35mm Film
Camera shootouts are perhaps our favorite type of content to create. They put technology to the test, beg the question of whether an upgrade is essential, and slam any dreaded overhype. It’s true—a creative never truly knows the product outcome without a hands-on approach. This explains why we were up at 5 a.m. the morning when the latest iPhone 13 series went on sale to test the latest tech as soon as we could. We call it hunger; others call it insanity.
A few months after the iPhone 13 series came to be, we recently launched a beloved nostalgic-driven yet timeless collection of carry products with none other than the legends themselves — Willem Verbeeck (@willemverb) and his girlfriend, Allison Sionn (@allsnsmn). Long Weekend is a line of soft goods that exists between the worlds of streetwear and outdoor adventures. Products that are versatile and comfortable while elevating your outfit because we believe that you should never have to choose between style, function, and durability
If you’re unfamiliar with Willem’s film photography, you should be. He captures modern-day portraits of people and lifescapes in their truest form, boasting unbelievable tones and a range of good light. He sells an online course with us, showcasing the basics of film photography and how to start your journey. His approach is soft-spoken—humbled yet informative. It’s one of our most popular courses, and people rave about it (including our team). Check it out below.
After we launched this beloved line (that sold FAST, props to our gear team and Allison and Willem for the killer first few days!), we wanted to meet with the couple for a super rad video to collaborate on YouTube. Ideas came and went — then something stuck the landing. Why not compare the latest iPhone 13 Mini to the likes of an old 35mm camera? Two creative tools that share relatively nothing in common? Duh!
So, lo and behold, here’s what we found during our frantic shootout. For a better visual understanding, be sure to check out our video at the bottom of this artilce, as well.
