Well almost the same.The pickup in the first half of this video is VERY red and the pickup in the second half is VERY orange,but as you can see they're almost the same colour.I don't remember them being like this before (but can't find any earlier examples).As you can see all other colours show near as [ ] perfectly.
Is there an easy way to get reds to be red again and oranges to be orange again as I don't know the correct way to do it with something like Adobe Premiere Pro?

Chromes on a Zenit? That was a challenge!
Sorry if you don't like the information, but ... you asked for getting good color but were using techniques where you could not possibly do so. Then stated that a camera of that cost should be able to produce near perfect color without tweaking anything. (While using settings that don't allow for it.)
You seemed to have rather different expectations from reality of working the scene, the gear, and the software. And resisted suggestions that perhaps you should shoot differently. So ... you got explanations of why your stated considerations wouldn't work.

No autofocus or even through-the-lens metering and just a 50mm prime and no zoom until I graduated to a Practica Nova B made it even more of a challenge!
I'm still not sure why you say "you asked for getting good colour but were using techniques where you could not possibly do so" when I all I did was record the video on an auto setting and the colour profile set to flat.We (or Chris) managed to fix that with a LUT which gives the results I'm after,so why should I need to shoot differently other than switching to a manual white balance setting?

My first was a Minolta 101 ... focusing between a fresnel ring with a split-level center like an old rangefinder focus. Took a lot of pics with that, most of them b/w that I developed & printed myself. Couldn't afford chromes, with printing also being a charge thing rather than being able to make mine.
And really, my sensitivities went more to the look of negatives/prints than chrome/prints. Knew many photographers who totally loved the look of their printed chromes though.
The white balance setting was my main pitch, btw ...

Almost entirely slides in a projector for me.It was a LONG time ago so I can't remember what the few I had printed looked like.
Duly noted about the white balance settings,I will try to remember to set them for the ambient lighting conditions every time.
Now chrisw44157781 I'd still be interested to know how you arrived at that LUT please?

I was a bit more tactile, I suppose ... I liked holding & looking at prints, then putting them on the wall or albums.
Ah, LUT creation ... Chris is good at that, and he'll have a great time elucidating the situation! ![]()
In PrPro, you can create them so easily ... do some work in the Lumetri you think would be applicable to other clips, click the three bars on the Lumetri tab and "Export .cube". I make a lot of mine in SpeedGrade, as I've many more options for the work I do there, and for the ... structure ... of the LUT I'm creating.
Chris has a couple different things that he does. Quite well.

i just clicked the secondary eye dropper on the car to get the hue, saturation of the car..
then i went into photoshop camera raw, made a xmp file and applied that preset to a iwltap generated pattern and exported 64 cube.
this is because premiere doesn't have hue control.

They look very different colors to me.
