Video

I love printing my work.. its a must.. good vid.. and your older film printing vid to. I do a few different things for print, i think some have mentioned in your other vid (like not using HPF due to the effects it can have) Now you are in the Uk i would highly recommend looking at Genesis Imaging or Metro Imaging for printing... Ive not used Whitewall... as i prefer to deal with someone I can go to physically, but the 1to1s they do sound encouraging.

You nailed it here, brother. This video is technically imperfect and philosophically RIGHT ON the money. Good luck, Hoser!

Stop trying to make it perfect - film is an artistic medium now, and this film is poppin’ as it is!

This is just nothing but hypercritical. If these cameras are as good as you say then youd have never moved on from them. All this nostalgia BS on CZcams is just stupid. This is yet more spews for views

what month did u do the trip there

i like to use my Zero Image 4x5 pin hole works well.

What light source did they include? Is it the CS-LITE Camera Scanning Light Source? I have the advancer but want to be sure it will work with the Cine still CS-LITE Camera Scanning Light Source. Thanks.

Das ist schon tragisch - weil wir im Bekannten nichts Besonderes mehr sehen, schauen wir nicht mehr hin und verpassen so vieles. Das Motiv mit Bäumen, Moos und Berg im Hintergrund erinnert an japanische Gärten...

I`ve committed to shooting digital (mostly) on a Leica MD262, no screen, only because I prefer optical prints and premium scans that cost over $100 a roll including shipping and the cost of film. I will shoot film durning the fall using Ektar 100 which gives colors that digital can`t...!

Thanks for making these reviews! I just got a medium format camera and I need to get it ready for a road trip.

Greetings Kyle. So I just got the 6x7 older version. I love how it feels. Just some questions about the internal metering. I have the 75mm 4.5 lens and I've noticed that the meter works when I move the button on the lens. Is that correct? If what I'm saying makes sense.

This is an incredibly inspiring video about a fantastic road trip. You came home with stunning impressions and excellent images. 😮 May I ask when you went on this trip. Was it 2024 or last year? Thank you, cheers. 😊

Hey Kyle, greetings from Western Canada . Ive been subscribed for years and follow you on IG, (always thought that following implied stalking in a creepy way, but I digress). So I know you as primarily a film photographer in a digital arena, a hybrid of sorts, shoot film and transfer into digital as gross oversimplification. But I don’t think I ever saw you in a darkroom before developing film. Gotta say that the look in your eyes of joy , excitement and happiness when you first looked at the negs out of the tank really crystallized the analog experience film shooters share. Seeing a workable neg still fresh and wet is the payoff in the process. I know that feeling but haven’t experienced it in too long a time. So thanks buddy, I was able to share that moment of satisfaction vicariously for a brief moment myself. Cheers !

leaf shutter = full spead flash sync... awesome

Ilfosol 3 / FD10 are now my go-to stocks after ID11 now seems to disappear for months on end. Quick and fast developer, racks up a hefty price if you have a steady workflow though!

This is one heck of a video 👏👏👏 … great use of the technology and stunning images. 😮 … I am loving it ❤ You have a new subscriber. Keep this great stuff coming. Cheers …

I still have that 21mm Distagon and I know what you're referring to. Btw, xpan mode is simply stunning...as always, great video.

Hi Kyle, this question is actually for an old video - 3 Tips to Nail Exposure with your Film Camera. I wanted to write this in your latest video so you might see it sooner. I hope you can help. Because of shooting with DSLR and Mirrorless cameras over the years, I've been so used to Aperture Priority, pressing the shutter button half way, focusing with AE lock, recompose and take my photo, that when I've been shooting film, I've been finding it tricky to getting my exposure. In the past, I've shot on a Mamiya 645 Pro TL and a Canon EOS 3 so I've had the convenience of having AEL. You mention you meter for shadows, adjust your exposure, recompose and take your photo. But when you recompose, will the exposure not change when it meters for the scene once again (Back light as an example), even though you've metered for the shadows? Where am I going wrong? Shooting film has taught me so much about photography that I thought I understood but actually didn't. Also, have you had any problems with the slip mirror issue that can happen with the Contax SLR cameras, I've been looking at the Contax Aria as I'm looking to invest in a new 35mm camera as I don't have the 2 I mentioned earlier anymore. What is changing my judgement is the lack of AE lock in some cameras but I don't want that to dictate my choice if I just understood metering film more. I hope you can get the chance to reply and break down my question. It would greatly be appreciated. Sorry for the essay you were the only person I could think of to contact who is so steeped in film photography. Thanks Kyle :)

what is your opinion about Linhof 4x5 Master Technika 2000 ???

Very, very enjoyable video.

I’ve achieved really good results with my Minolta Minoltaflex iii I enjoy the 6x6 format, but using a TLR will be an adjustment to standard cameras

The view of church with tombstones in the foreground is mesmerizing. Great composition! Didn't you ever try to use your Intrepid 4x5 with a pinhole board?

What is the music at 1:02?

Simple but effective ideas 📸🤓🙏

Is there any amazing person here that already have those presets and would like to share them? The link for downloading is broken:/

Great video Kyle! Welcome to the wonderful world of pinhole... I'll add another thumbs up for Ondu. I have the 4x5 rise and a 120 multiformat. Love them both. If you thought 15mins was long exposure time, stay away from Fomapan for woodland pinhole photography, you'd still be there! 🤣 Look forward to seeing more pinhole.

Kyle McDougall, you look like Tyler Stalman

So I take a pic with my 35 mm camera... then I pay to develop it... then take the film picture with another digital camera... if you have both yah looks good. But for someone who only has a 35mm film camera this seems very expensive.

doesn't intrepid have pinhole on lens boards?

So great to see this process. I print myself with an Epson SureColor P900, but the process of properly preparing images is a bit gray for me. This helps!

Disappointed I can’t use the Viewfinder Preview app with my Widelux F6. It wouldn’t accepted the film dimensions as it’s wider then the camera

I’m sorry, but don’t you think comparing a $3000 scanner to a $300 scanner is a bit lopsided to begin with? And only using the saturation slider to try to give similar results seems a bit unfair as well. I have no doubt whatsoever I could match the Nikon scan result with the Epson using the color mixer and some masks. If you’re only going to use the out of scanner results to compare the two units I get, but doesn’t post process these days?

The darkroom for me I love it

Drum scan

Very interesting Kyle, have a look at Richard Misrach's Violent Legacies if you're not already familliar. Cheers, J.

What colour rendering or profiles are you using?

How did you plan where to go to shoot? Did you pre-scout/recce, Google street maps, general research? @kyle

It’s not that G1 isn’t worth it for you, it’s also that you aren’t worth using a G1. It goes both ways

Fantastic results. As someone who almost exclusively shoots with a Pinhole camera it's great to see others enjoying the process. If you want a Pinhole camera with more features Ondu with the rise Pinhole option is fantastic, Zero Image 4x5 has different focal lengths going from the insanely wide 25mm and up to however many sections you want added, both are beautifully made, Reality so Subtle also has changeable focal lengths and a rise Pinhole. A few including the above have options to add filters which is also great especially with B&W photography. Enjoy, look forward to seeing more

Just so I understand for sure, does the temperature compensation occur continuously during the development? For example, if the temperature drifts down (or up) during development, does the unit readjust the time as the development cycle proceeds?

You should be pixel shifting these scans. Digital cameras are not film scanners. Youre not capturing full colour

Check out Ondu pinhole cameras

Just wanted to leave this comment for people who may be confused like I was: I didn't know why people were using an old pentax 120mm macro lens + adapter instead of just buying a gfx extension tube for the gfx 63mm lens. The extension tube doesn't give you the same coverage of the film like with a 120mm lens. You see at 12:45 when he starts scanning--the film fills the frame and you get all the megapixels of the gfx (important for me because I like printing large). If you have the 63mm + extension tube, you can only get so close and you have to crop in a bit. This is probably fine if you're posting your stuff online but it leaves a lot of megapixels on the table, which may limit you down the road depending on how large you like to print/ how much detail you want. If you already have a 50 MP GFX, may as well spend the extra ~$100 to get the full potential out of it as a scanner. there's also the added benefit that he mentioned about just being able to leave the adapter and lens mounted permanently rather than having screw and unscrew your camera to the stand each time

Good stuff I am always looking at your channel you a godfather on the tube stay strong

I have a camera scanner setup based on, ironically, a Leitz Valoy enlarger stand. The Valoi accessories look great!

When I'm not shooting film, I'm still shooting with my Nikon D700. I simply love the photos I'm getting from it.

I serviced both scanners, and there are huge differences in construction(you expect that for the massive difference in price) but the short version is this: the nikon is using a bigger brighter lens, also it auto focuses the image, giving it a bit more clarity(if serviced right the epson can get the same clarity but for the price normal calibration is good enough) also epson sensor is waaay higher resolution in total (something like 4 times) for a sensor similar in size(it can scan a full a4 sheet at full 4800dpi), so the nikon has an advantage in dynamic range as pixels are physically bigger and can capture more light). also the light source is of a better quality than epsons leds in theory giving it a better color pallet, with more film types. That said Nikon's technology hasn't advanced past 90's technology, (slightly higher resolution sensor). Epson though uses more recent technology, and I personally prefer the color separation and more natural colors of the epson out of the box. Also in the higher price bracket (v600 - v800) you get a better light source, higher resolution, modern os support, and overall better qc from epson. I use a v600 almost daily, I use the nikon only when I have weird color negatives that it might resove a bit better. That said I also have a(even older) minolta dimage film scanner, that I prefer to the nikon. All in all, for the price and quality, the epsons are unbeatable imo.

This is some really cool stuff

Why even shot film if you are going to edit the photos? Just shoot digital. It makes no sense giving the amount you pay for film and processing just to turn around and edit it.
