    I've been using my Chamonix 45F2 for just under a year now and I love using it. The process of getting into Large format photography took a lot of research on my part and some mistakes. In today's video I've shared all that and I hope this is helpful for anyone thinking about getting into Large format photography or would like an overview of it. There is another video in this series coming up and I'll talk about developing and scanning on that one. Stay tuned :)

    I had the Intrepid 4x5 Mk4, but needed an upgrade. I just ordered the Chamonix 45F-2, and needed a refresher video. This video was the perfect one.
    I liked the calm tone of your voice, the right amount of information, and the little video clips here and there.
    It's clear that you've put a considerable amounts of time and effort to come up with such an awesome video.
    Thank you!

    Hi Sathya.
    This is making me smile at the memory of the Gandolfi cameras (and crank up Gitzo tripods), used in the studio where I worked as photographers assistant back in the day.
    Your Chamonix looks very nice.

    • @SathyaPeacock
      @SathyaPeacock  Před 10 měsíci +1

      Hey Colin, hope you’re well. Glad it made you smile. And what you’re describing sounds quite nostalgic :)
      Chamonix did a good job with their wooden frame + carbon fibre design.

    Thanks @sathyapeacock for this incredible tutorial. I also have the Chamonix 45F2 which is an awesome camera. Beautifully handcrafted! Can I ask, what is the name of the viewfinder app that you mention in the video. I've been looking for an app, but never know which one is best. Thanks!

    • @SathyaPeacock
      @SathyaPeacock  Před 10 měsíci +1

      Thank you for watching! I'm glad it was useful. Couldn't agree more about the 45F2 :) The viewfinder app shows up as 'Viewfinder Preview' on apple app store. Link - apps.apple.com/gb/app/viewfinder-preview/id1216484605

    Hey, thanks for clarifying the stuff relating large format. Having myself a chamonix camera 45-N2.. I have a question, what loupe do you use (grey one on video) as I see this is 4x? Do you find that magnifying not enough on some infinity focus with long distance objects? I have a peak design 5x and I have some problem seeing things on the ground glass. Thanks for your answer and time. Wht would be the best magnifying for landscape?
    Cheers.

    • @SathyaPeacock
      @SathyaPeacock  Před 10 měsíci

      Hey thanks for watching. Yes 4x is definitely restrictive when wanting to focus on subjects further away. Other large format photographers recommend 6x but not more than that as you might start seeing the details of your fresnel screen. So I’d say try 6x, I’m also in the process of finding me a 6x :) good luck!
