Great suggestion. I also use Ephemeris for figuring out where the Sun is when, and when blue and golden hours are for my location. What I like about this with respect to other apps is that it’s relatively simple.
Thanks, I just downloaded to check it out
Wow absolutely great video. I’m in Sevilla at the moment and for some reason left both my 5x4 Horseman 45FA behind and the 6x6 120 back plus a medium format point and shoot which I not going to mention because everyone is going to want this camera soon. I like to use with it. Your video makes me realize just how stupid that decision was it was crazily inspiring.
The drama of having to sacrifice your color roll for the spool was insane but actually was a great dramatic lead into the video. You’ve gained a new subscriber
Thanks! You can take you 5x4 next time! (Yes it was sad to sacrifice film but I can use it as a practice roll to test film backs/ cameras etc so it won't be wasted)(test transport rather than exposure!) Have a good trip!
Thanks you for this trip in Budapest
I enjoy very much your photos made
With your mpp
Thanks for checking out the video! (I put a link to a blog below if you want to see some photos full res and zoom in etc)
F9 300mm Nikkor í one of the Legacy 4x5 lenses to have , compact super sharp and great coatings ... I use that lens on my EBONY Field camera ( 4x5 ).
Great! Im glad my research paid off. Yes it looked like a must have in the kit bag (and yes I loved the size!) Thanks!
great pics, that show really a lot of details in a perfect white tto black range.
Thank you! A lot of crop issues but a good start!
Nice shots matt!
Thanks Nuno! Not great but good learning :)
some good shots there young Matt !!! nice bridge work..
Thank you!
Full of stuff Matt, a great video. I also took off the rangefinder of my MPP and it does make a difference not only in weight but for compacting the kit even more. And yes you take longer to make a photograph but eventually your mind and heart rate will slow to be in sync and then all is slow photography calm😊
Thanks Steve, it was a previous YT comment that inspired me so if it was you then thanks!
Hi Matt
As always perfect great video, thanks for taking me on the photographic journey to Budapest. I was there about 30 years ago I also use the View Finder app from time to time.
Lg Anderl
Thanks Anderl!
nice video and amazing photos
I also use the app shutter-speed. That app gives you a control of the shutter from a used camera.
Thanks and thanks for the app mention!
If you're using an iPhone the preinstalled measure app has a great level function - and the price is right as it's already included.
Ah great tip thanks!
Thank you Matt
Thanks!
Two weeks ago I was too in the Budapest, but because it was a work trip all film gear I took with me was an Olympus OM1n loaded with FP4, with 24 and 50mm lenses all packed in a really, really small belt bag, and the only app that I needed was a light meter one, cause I've used 1,5V battery instead a 1,35V proprietary one, so my on-board light meter behaves wonky sometimes. I still have to develop that film do...
Nice! They are a good size
Very enjoyable teaching video.
RS. Canada
Thanks Richard!
Great shots Matt! I love your photo walks through EU countries.
Thanks! I’ll try to do more. (There’s lots I can improve!)
Unless people see a well developed , scanned ( drum scanned ) and exceuted 4X5 negative and just see how much information it contains, they would not believe that film is still suprior to anything digital has to offer, much slower execution though. Dark slide jamming is usually the result of film not sitting flush against the flap of the film holder. One way to help this not happening, is to tap the holder to get the film to sit flush. In most cases you do not need to remove the dark slide out of teh holder, particularly in the studio. Just pull it up until it clears the film rebates, this way you can just push it back in without fuss.
Thanks for the tip. Now I have a "practice roll" (the colour film I had to exposure to get the spool from the film for the back, I'll re-spool it and try your tips. Thanks!
Enjoyed the video. Even though you seem to be a fan of cityscapes do you ever think about doing landscapes such as Yellowstone National Park? The region offers a lot to explore...I call it the GYB (Greater Yellowstone Biosphere)..(Yellowstone, Teton NP,Bear Tooth,Island Park). You might want to consider visiting.
Thank you! I would love to visit Yellowstone some day. I have heard of it.
If you like this kind of camera but want to have it lighter and smaller, you might try one of the pre-war folders from Voigtländer (Avus, Bergheil) or ICA (Ideal, Favorit) or some other brands (e.g. Glunz, Ernemann, Ihagee, Zeiss Ikon, etc) made from wood. Very capable cameras which can produce sharp b&w pictures, but because of uncoated lenses are bit tricky for color film. I've sold my Technica years ago and use an ICA Ideal since then and never looked back. There are also 120 film backs available for some of these old cameras.
Thanks for the information. I'm sure I will be looking at more cameras going forward so thanks for these great tips. (I'm less familiar with LF cameras compared to Leicas and other 35mm.120 that I know a bit more about.
4 me quite new..
the photo app.
seems to be very useful
Thanks, yes new for me too!
Great content as ever. Is there a rangefinder app for cameras that you know of?
Thank you! I believe my lightmeter app has it too but I’ll be honest I forgot so haven’t tried it yet. I’ll mention in a future video as I had planned to make use of it with my 1931 Leica
16:44 I like that shot!
Thank you. I looked to shoot it with the 4x5 but the tripod height was too low so I was happy to have my little 6x6 folder with me
Nice work. I am hesitant to use a light meter app. I usually use TTL metering in my 35mm cameras and I have several hand hell light meters I never used but hope to.
Yes it’s probably the first time I’ve relied on my phone too. I own dedicated light meters..but the apps do work
Nice video, Matt.
How many film holders will fit in the Wotancraft bag with a camera in it?
Thanks! If 3.5L Pilot maybe 2-3 from memory. I’m away teaching in NY currently so I can’t check sorry
To all Hungarians, at 0:15 on the video on the tree blossoms there can be seen a red ribbon - this is called Martenitsa in Bulgaria and it is a Bulgarian custom - I didn't expect to see it hanging on a tree in Hungary - do you have the same thing there too? It will be quite interesting if so :D
Thanks for this interesting insight! I've never noticed it before but now I will look for it!
I switched cell phones from Apple to Samsung and the viewfinder app isn’t available. :-( I really miss not having it. Have you heard of any similar apps for Samsung phones?
Sorry to hear, i've not but search similar terms and hopefully you can find something
I can recommend using the Fuji GW690III 6x9 camera instead of using a 4x5" large format camera. It's much easier to transport and use. The image quality is great (not a big difference between 4x5 and 6x9 in my opinion). And it's also called "Texas Leica" for a reason because it can be used like a Leica M.
Thanks Stefan, yes true 6x9 cameras certainly make more sense, I have a tiny 6x9 folder, but I love the process of the 4x5 and especially being able to mount lots of super cool lenses (not yet shown)
Good camera but fixed lens, the 4x5 may be bigger/heavier but so many lens options and film formats can make it worth the extra hassle.
@@lensaero For 80% of the subjects (like portrait, landscape) I'd say a Fuji GW 690III is a more reasonable choice. For 20% (like architecture with tilt/shift) 4x5" is the better choice.
@@stefan_becker Hi Stefan, it is of course personal preference and the Fuji is a great camera. However I sold my 690iii as I found it a bit limiting so then wanted the GW version as well - which of course takes up more room!
I replaced it with a Linhof 612, a little bigger than the Fuji of course but a format I prefer, interchangeable lenses and can be shot handheld easily. Paired with my Mamiya 6 or 7 I find they make an excellent travelling pair that easily fit in a small backpack.
Hi Matt, do you transport your film from the U.K. and have it hand scanned or do you buy your film stock in the country you’re in and have a process there before you fly back.
I always travel with film in a clear bag in my hand luggage (but I plan to carry it differently soon, I’ll be doing a few experiments and can share the results in a video if meaningful)
I think it would be interesting, I have read a lot about taking film though airport scanners. that it’s ok for iso,s below 800, but can cause fogging on some films. It would be good to get a insight from somebody who regularly flies with film.
@@paulbeale7947 400 and lower, ideally b&w, lower ISO the better, 35mm better than 120 as I read
I love Budapest. I’ve been there on 4 separate trips.
I of course loved the hills, Matthias Templom, and Fisherman’s Bastion on the West side, and the nighttime scenes on the East side.
The view of the Széchenyi bridge from the Fisherman’s Bastion and Buda Castle (Budavári Palota) looks terrific when it first lights up during the blue hour.
Thanks John, yes I love it too. I originally went with work and have been going back ever since!
@@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom I should have added that I really liked the Hungarian people too.
I cant find the viewfinder app you're using
I found it in the iPhone App Store. If you’re on Android you might not have it.
Hi nice job, but you could have use a Hasselblad which could have done the same job. Just to let you know.
Thanks, I have Hassy cameras as you probably know. I don't have flex body or tilt shift so I can't do the same.
Link to viewfinder preview app please?
If you go to the App Store on an iPhone and type Viewfinder and you'll find it
😊
Thanks!
It almost looks like parallax error Matt. I know it’s not though. Nice work.
Thanks Steve, yes strange, it got me on the panos and the tops of the verticals
just feeding the algorithm.
i adjusted one setting on my godox trigger to use it with vintage kit. Having one of the terminals be pc input is fun.
If you get bored you can buy 3d printed inserts and feed that film back 35mm.
Thanks! Yes I know many triggers don’t have pc sync so that’s cool and very cool about 35mm, thanks!
MATT : You are also shooting 6x12 , I am and have been doing that this dark and stormy Puget Sound Winter .... 6x9 and 6x12 .... just got my 1966 lens this week too , beautiful black and brass . Lovely. LLL ...
Great stuff Chris, great minds think alike!
Lock shot is Good MATT
Thanks 🙏🏻
5th app ??? Geotag film stores ~
Thanks Chris!
