Video

@@chrisnorris3641 yea but found out is is absolutely not up to the job. Wel can't have it all I guess.

Yes no need for a changing bag. But only for black and white pictures. You can also just use a red bicycle light. I'm using it for years in my second dark room where there is no electricity.

? Second video? What do you mean?

Agfa Isolette camera

Cheap as nuts: 10-15 euro's buys you a nice working camera.

Thank you! On my channel you also can find a video on how to build a dedicated Cyanotype camera. Be sure to use a highly sensitive mixture and give it some time try first 1 hour and if the results are good then decrease the exposure time. My best time was 15 minutes. But that is really a bit too fast.

Well, assuming you used Ilford RC or FB photopaper. You still need to develop the paper in a darkroom. If you click on my channel you will find video's on how to develop the pictures and how to build a darkoom. Of course if you loaded (or unloaded) the camera in sunlight then the paper will be spoiled/ gone.

Super! Have fun:-)

I also own a Neo2, but don't see much improvement. Still great writing tool.

I think I made one already. But I will check. The light trap isn't there: the darkslide slides up but not all the way out. Thus keeping the light out. Another way is to use velcro or felt to line the top. But normally you would take out the slide and place on top of the camera above the darkslide opening to block off the light. But that won't work for a ULF camera. Oh now i thought about another thing. You can make the darkslide with the bottom part hinging with a fkexible tape. So when you pull it all the way up it hinges and you can fold the darkslide over your camera without completely pulling out the slide.

If you are going to use film, you really need a propper light trap. Maybe a little flap that is under spring tension. For me the filmholders never gave any issue since I only work with paper negatives which are not that light sensitive.

Thanks so much! I bought some 11x14 X-ray film. 100 sheets for $65. I’ll figure something out regarding the slot or just load a sheet inside a camera that I build and seal it in the dark to forego the film holder issue altogether. This picture frame solution that you came up with is absolutely genius. If the slot is my only issue, I’m 90% there thanks to you. Keep up the good work. So fun!

@@ryanmaloney9403 well, glad I could help out. If you got any more questions don't hesitate to ask.

It's called 'Developing pictures' paper negatives development with caffenol. I also got a video on how to mix caffenol with household poducts. A photography shop won't be able to develop them unfortunately or it must be a specialized shop. Don't worry caffenol development is super easy and fun. Click my wolf icon/avatar and then click 'video's' there you will find my other videos.

Maybe using instax wide film instead. Using photographic paper will be very impractical. You need a changing bag and a way to keep the shutter open for a longer time. I did a land camera conversion to photopaper. It worked.

@@sneeuwwolf1176 do instax films work with polaroid cameras?

The mini CD was in the box when I purchased the camera.

@@sneeuwwolf1176 I didn't. 🫤

You always need a monitor for every PC, also for a TV box....

But pc run without monitor . Like we use as server

@@KARTHIK-yq1qk these things are not powerfull enough and it will be tricky to reset them and mae them run on Linux.

I planned to make a new video on lenses. But it is still in the works. I found lenses online, search: cine lens, projector lens or filmprojector lens. Dia projector lens can also work. I also find these in thrift stores, second hand stores and on photography equipment auctions. The fastest lenses are hard to find. Say F1 or F1.2. Projector lenses are common and usually F2.8. The main idea is to use uncoated lenses. Since the camera needs UV rays. This game is trail and error:-)

@@sneeuwwolf1176 wow. Thanks for the fast answer. Super helpful!

Yea, still use it. It´s great to let your thoughts just flow from your fingers into the machine. Seamlessly. Love it. So if you got tons of ideas in your head but don´t want to sit in front of a computer with all the discomfort and distractions it has to offer, then the Alphasmart is super.

I drilled some small holes and then I put some screws in. Be sure to use a tiny drill bit.

The Dana is it worth it? Just a bigger screen or are there other interesting things?

Ilford rapid fixer. Works very well.

@@sneeuwwolf1176 thanks

Also can you re use the fixer like you can re use the developer

@@julekkruk4057 yes, but it will get fouled and lose it´s potency quite quickly. Don´t worry, you don´t need a lot if fixer.

Thanks. It´s a simple contraption but it works. It´s really fun to build a camera.

I converted a land camera to shoot photographic paper. So should be doable. I need to look into the polaroid j66 to know for sure. My land camera I only needed to tape the sensor shut so I could take bulb mode pictures.

@@sneeuwwolf1176 thank you 🙏🙏

Oh yes, be sure you got a spent cartridge. Without it it will be a pain to take pics.

@@sneeuwwolf1176 Thanks!!!

Because it is a negative that I developed, not a positive. You can develop positive images this way too, obviously.

You mean ´printing´? Using a light source to project the film image onto the photographic paper? So first you develop the film then transfer the image onto photo paper and then develop the photo paper. You can enlarge the film image also. Most of my images are shot with a 4x5 or 120 camera and i take paper negatives (paper in the camera instead of film).

​@@sneeuwwolf1176 Yes, that. I appreciate your efforts for writing how to do it to me. However, I am a very visual person. Maybe an idea for your next video? ;) :D

Ok but I don´t know if you can see me developing pictures in the darkroom, since the camera light will spoil the pictures. But I will film the process with the lights on. You won´t see an imageappear on the photopaper, but you will know how it works. If you need a caffenol recipe, check out my other video. I explain in detail how to prep a new batch of caffenol.

@@sneeuwwolf1176 Yes, It's okay. It'll be cool to watch it all. I did watch your other video too, very good! I am looking forward to try myself tbh :D. Where are you based?

@@tuttoshithole Belgium

Just uploaded a new video quickly stating how to develop pictures. Hope it helps?

Good luck on building the 4x5. If you have questions, you know were to find me:-)

Sure sure, be aware that you will need long exposure times. But for sure pinhole will work just fine. Camera takes a few seconds, pinhole takes few minutes depending on how much sunshine you got to play with. You can develop your own pictures easily. Check out ly caffenol c video on how to do it. The fun thing about pinhole camera´s is that you can use any box, be it metal, cardboard or whatever.

Since it´s just a box with a lens you can expect the same quality as any other home made camera. The quality is only affected by the skill of the photographer and the lens used. All the other parts are too simple to fail.

Unfortunately the app isn´t supported anymore. But you can use the mini CD included and install it on your laptop. Works fine.
