    another couple of mistakes, one: to not remember to take your watch off before loading film, as the luminous or led dials can fog film; two, not using a lens hood, as flare can wreck a piece of film, or using your hand, and not a cable release to set off the shutter, causing vibrations, or body parts in the shot.

    Thanks super easy. I don't have a spanner wrench but I can find one. There is a thing called a lens wrench which is usually a flat square piece of metal with "prongs" for the various Copal sized rings. I suppose it works similarly. They are quite cheap on eBay.

    • @drew_nikonowicz
      @drew_nikonowicz Před 8 měsíci

      Sent this in an email as well, but in case anyone else comes through the video and is curious! - Version 2 of the camera is easier to build, has less parts, and is just a hair lighter than version one. The big improvement is the 99% metric (primarily m3) hardware set. Verson 1 used all imperial hardware, which was much more difficult for folks outside of the states to acquire. So we switched the metric so people would have an easier time sourcing all the hardware. That's the primary improvement, aside from reducing the number of parts and complexity of the camera all over in small ways.

    Most of the video was very good - except for the advice on lens boards. Linhof is not common to all cameras. I own a Toyo and a Sinar - both 4x5 and they both use different lens boards. There are boards that adapt to linhof boards for both of those cameras, but they are not the standard. Otherwise a well put together presentation.

    • @drew_nikonowicz

      “The Standard 4x5” is the name of the camera I make and sell. 😁 IIRC what I say in this video is referencing that, not “all 4x5s” in general. Regardless, never hurts to remind comment readers that there are many different kinds of lensboards!

      Many times! And to be honest I just don't think it's something I'm interested in pursuing. Too many other projects to pursue, and moving up from 4x5 feels too cost prohibitive for me.
