I will probably not go large format but now I know more about that medium than before, so thanks for that. James Brown was billed as "The Hardest Working Man in Show Business." You have to be the hardest working man in the photo business. You have what I consider the three important character traits: smart, hard working and easy to get along with. You will continue to succeed and at higher and higher levels. It's great to watch it.
Thanks Sandy very kind! Fingers crossed! (Luckily it's just my personality and my drive for photography pulls me forward as I learn)(and then I share it).
Many thanks Matt.What a start of my morning ❤
Thanks!
I know photographers who have freezers full of very dld film,like yours ,roll and sheet film that shoots like new.
Dad's are handy for jobs like yours.
I think Horsman makes 4x5 field cameras made of carbon fiber,very light. I think they are available on the used market. But they might still be expensive.
Great job, Matt! We learn lots from our mistakes, if we let ourselves.
Thanks Michael! I ordered the Intrepid current model so looking forward to trying that. (Thanks about the Horseman camera, didn't know that).
BEAUTIFUL result Matt! Now it sort of makes me want to run a roll of my CT scanned 400VC from 2007 through HC110! Also, you gotta love 90’s Fuji box art.
Thanks Rex! Yes it worked out better than expected! ..and yes loved the film packaging :)
Hi Matt✌
A lot to lug around with the two old ladies. The Adlerauge Tessar is really something, I still have it but with 12 aperture blades, great video as always Matt, thanks for showing, still have old films that are nearly 50 years old or more. Let's have a look 👌👌
Lg Anderl
Thanks! Yes quite a bag full. Luckily I only had to walk 15mins or so. Yes the Tessar is interesting although if you see Flickr the Leitz lens will be the fun one once I master it!
Amazing video, great and valuable information!! Thanks for sharing!! Best regards, Matt!!
Thanks! These simple cameras are great fun!
@@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom yes, I can enjoy just watching you use them!
It's been a while since I watched a nice relaxing Nick Carver video ha! I'll be honest, didn't expect that projector lens/ cap combo to work at all but it turned out all right, especiallly on 30 y/o film :)
Haha thanks Thomas, I did my best to shut up at times and let the birds sing! Quite enjoyed it. Terrible view count but I enjoyed the format regardless
Hello, Matt
I always enjoy watching your channel. My primary cameras are all digital Leica’s at this time. However, your recent videos about 4X5 film cameras have re-awakened my interest in large format. About twenty five years ago I purchased a beautiful new Ebony SV45 along with a 135mm Rodenstock lens. It’s been sitting in a glass cabinet staring at me for many years. Well, thanks to you it’s now out and stretching its lovely bellows again. One of my favorite films years ago was Poloroid type 55 positive/negative instant film which was still available for purchase at my local camera store. I’m not as enthusiastic about the crop of new Poloroid films. Anyway, I just recently loaded 10 sheet film holders and look forward to getting the Ebony back out there again where she belongs. I just hope my brain can deal with staring at images that are upside down and backwards after all this time.
Hi William, so nice to hear that I could inspire you to dust off your 4x5. I do love to share my photography journey and despite this not being a Leica I hoped to inspire a few of the regular viewers! Enjoy your camera!
great video. i was once looking for a Leitz Leica Hektor 250mm F2.8 too. each lens has their own characteristics and I won't mind using any one of the 3.
Thanks! Yes I've seen the 250mm on eBay too.. luckily mine came ready mounted as I don't have your skills
Looks like a fun day out! Have to admit I prefer your work with two-legged models, tho… 😂
Ha thanks James, yes I did enjoy the "being in nature". This is all practice for when I hopefully have a model with me in the future!
Can’t wait to see the results Matt.
Thanks Steve, better than I expected (as you probably saw)!
Photos look nice. I wonder about some blurriness resulting from the camera wobbling when relying on removal of the lens cap as a shutter? (Although I guess one could see that with some streaking in the highlights.) The bird sounds were very pleasant!
Thanks, I think the failed second frame might be me leaning on the tripod when focusing (as it was low down). The 5th and 6th were purely too shallow depth of field at the fixed f2.5. I continue to learn!
A couple of years ago used Kodak colour neg film been in a freezer for 20 years with a werra 1 35mm camera negatives came out perfectly so I am not surprised still have 35 mm stock I freezer
Great to hear! Yes is stored well it can be good. I was not sure the history of this film so I played it safe!
I like my Intrepid 4x5 (3d printed model) but it's not a real field camera in the sense that it doesn't lock really well and when placing the film holder in, more often than not, something goes. When applying front standard mouvement, it is crucial to, once focused, that everything stays put.
Nice to see you shooting something else than beautiful girls 😅😂
Nice Jason, sorry to hear that it's still "not perfect". I find the choice of tripod(+head) makes a huge difference too regardless of the camera. (Even with my solid Graflex I was getting movement)(Not in this video). Yes it was quite refreshing to not have to rely on a model. I was enjoying the nature and birds singing!
@@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom you're right, a good tripod and head is super important. Maybe what I should look into. Using a simple K&F combo and nothing like a Gitzo 😁
Knees : yes , I gave up cycling from 2 Left Knee replacements , no more running in the woods near ocean .... and at 63 I feel everything. Having lighter kit is important now for me. I shoot Leica M film , F3 , Rollei , and 2 4x5's EBONY and a Crown Graphic , I do have SONY mirrorless , but an\m looking at either an M11 Mono or the SL 3 Lieca.
Matt .. I am not sure what is better , an M11 or the SL 3 , I have lost interest in digital although that IS what most people want now.
..and they say cycling is good for you! (I know running is known to be more damaging). Still a nice camera line-up! As I always say, SLs if use an EVF, Ms if you dont. Ms or street/ docu. SLs for studio/ portraits/ bad weather..
The 3.5 tessar large format are relatively rare only a few were made . Most of the tessar lenses for large format is f4.5 ..
And don't give yourself a hard time with bokeh. From those lenses. Get the xenotars , the apo lanthar Cooke portrait lenses or dallmeyers.. or go the other side of the spectrum get the modern lenses docter/docter lens, the apo Schneider and apo of rodenstock
For using barrel lens or projector to lens, sinar has to a shutter for that
Interesting to know thanks!
Thanks, yes a lot to learn with LF. I love my Xenotar 210/4.5 especially (waiting for a lens board so I can use on more cameras).. I hear the Apo Panther are good but cost more.. the rest I know of but not in detail.. stay. tuned to watch the journey!
Thanks!
OK, so now I have the answer to my question. Thanks
Great!
Did you build this camera? I have seen it in other of your videos but I guess I wasn't paying attention. Sorry! When I restarted film photography, due to finding my old Nikon cameras and your videos, I thought the 15 year old film in my cameras and the unused old film I had was spoiled. I threw it all away. Now I feel pretty bad for not getting it developed. I might have had some precious photos. I have learned quit a bit from you. Thanks!
Sorry to hear about your film. As you probably saw the camera is an Intrepid (made in the UK). The new versions are much improved. (You'll probably see it in a future video!)
@@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom I looked at the new ones at the Photography Show and agree they look a lot more robust than yours or mine.
I hate LF. One cannot use it for profit! Arnold Newman was forced to go 35mm! Yes! His photos of many famous folks on 35mm! You will send your costs thru the roof, even using medium format! All the best!
Thanks Jason! I don't plan to use it for profit but good to know.
Not only was this large format, which is a heavy chore, this was large format with 2 large format cameras! Are you some kind of masochist Matt or maybe you just didn't get your weight time in at the gym this week?-
🤣
Haha, actually I did take it easy this time, this was video 2 (video 1 is on Patreon - free access). Trip 1 included the Graflex + Aero Ektar! (Trip 2 the wooden Intrepid so I saved maybe 3-4kg!)
