That is so crazy !!
I just got my first large format graflex speed graphic , was planning on shooting for the first time (: wish me luck !!
I've always wanted to acquire a 4×5 camera that I could use handheld, like those press photographers, without needing to set up a tripod and using extra stuff. But I keep finding it hard to learn what to acquire…
Awesome video!!! A great intro for folks!!! I do miss Type 55 Polaroid film!!! I have a few Speed Graphics that i have used since the early 90s!!! I loved using it as a point and shoot Polaroid camera!!!
I think a drug deal went down in the background at 13:37 lmao
I definitely misread that title as large format friday
I'm not going to get into large format photography… I'm not going to get into large format photography…I'm not going to get into large format photography… I'm NOT……. UGGHHH…
I have a b&j press camera it's one of the few press cameras I've seen that has a rotating back.
I just bought my first 4×5 two weeks ago. I have had hell ever since. Still working on it but man has it been a process. Found a Cambo sc in not great condition but it turned out to be just dusty and it had a few light leaks. Lens that were sold as is and needed to be cleaned. It has been some work. Lost a few shots so I went for paper negatives and I finally got something I could scan. Waiting on new bellows to fix my light leaks. All in all I got into large format for less then $450 USD.
Just acquired a graflex, very excited to get it a try!
I have a fotokor 9×12 cm plate camera that is slightly smaller than 4×5 but foma still makes sheet film and I’ve coated glass with emulsion and made glass negatives with varying levels of success
Hey, crown graphic buddies! 😁
I do love a nice 4×5 graflex, I don't know why but especially the older graflex cameras are so fascinating to me. Shooting slide film in an ancient graflex SLR is a surreal experience hahaha! Also large format reflex cameras feel like a total paradox, that fuckin mirror slap damn
Oh, edit as well, but I will recommend some fpp frankenstein 200 if anyone's looking for some decently cheap 4×5 b&w that looks super sharp. I've been shooting it at 400 and pushing a stop in D76 and it's been fantastic. Like 35 bucks for 25 sheets ain't bad at all
love the video! very informative and actually learned a lot from this. thanks 🙂
I can recommend switching to the sp-445, even just because it is so much easier to use than the mod45
Shooting with a bergheil is so satisfying…. 🤤 Sadly, the format 9×12 isnt supported anymore for colorfilm-sheets.
I found an old speed graphic camera with a 2.25×3.75 back, so I ripped it apart and rebuilt it to use 120 roll film, still has one light leak tho
Very nicely presented. I shot my weddings with my crown graphic, same as yours, from 1955 to the mid 60’s until 6×6 was finally recognized as “big enough” I loved my 4×5. One thing I wanted say…if your rangefinder is well calibrated it will work 100% of the time. You also have a wonderful feature…with one or two batteries in it you can project your rangefinder image on the groom’s suit for instance and be right on. There is that little red button onn the side
I've got a Horseman 970 which is really a 2×3 camera. But i use it with 120, so I have the ability to use all the movements of the large format system on a more cost effective way!
This was a good refresher of the major info for LF photography, thanks Noah!
is this pretty close to how they took photos in 1883
Thanks!
I think you didn't say, that after exposing you can flip around the dark slide after exposing. This changes the white side on the darkslide handle to the black side, marking that film as exposed, without using tape and stuff like that
I just picked up a Graflex Century a few weeks ago without realizing that it's actually a 2 1/4 x 3 1/4" camera instead of a 4×5. It's a little bit of a bummer that I got it mixed up like that, but I'm still pretty stoked! I got a film roll adapter back, and I've gotten through a roll of Gold 200 with it so far on a 6×9 cm negative, which is very very close to the original film sheet size.
That all said, I do still plan on eventually actually getting a Graflex Speed Graphic or another within the family so be able to actually shoot on 4×5 before the format goes away.
Loving your channel – just discovered it!
Thanks!
you forgot that on monorail camera's, adjusting the rear standard changes dimensions of whats being viewed, which is very useful for architecture photography, you can square up buildings.
the lens isnt flipping the image either, whats happening is the path of light is being followed through to the ground glass. think of it, the light rays from the ground is travling up and towards you, and comtinuing to the top of the ground glass. the light from the sky is traveling down and towards you, towards the bottom of the ground glass. the same happends left/right. thus, you get a fully inverted image. the same thing is happening in your eyes, but your brain corrects it and flips it.
you can test this with a pinhole camera. even without a conventional lens, the image will be inverted in all directions.
21:57 "I really enjoy the convenience of it," that made me chuckle quite a bit after you explained one of the most inconvenient ways of doing photography ever 😄 It's all relative, I suppose!
I'm only shooting 35mm and thinking of trying camera scanning soon, so large format is not on the horizon for me just yet. Being able to scan myself might make medium format more viable, though.
Thanks for the video, super fascinating stuff and well-presented as always!
This seems perfect for me. I am about to pull the trigger on a 4×5 zone vi at a great price and with a nice Schneider APO lens. God help me!
Thank you for taking the time to put this together for us. Stay inspired and keep shooting!
Very nicely laid out video.
Love Graphic cameras! I have got one with rear shutter and I love it because I can mount any lens I want.
you doing it backwards.notches should be on the bottom
I use an MPP Micropress 4×5 which is a British made camera similar to a Graflex Speed Graphic.
I have a Schneider 135mm f4.7 Xenar lens. I use Fomapan 200 black and white film which I develop in Rodinal.
I use the camera on a Slik 88 tripod with a Linhof ball and socket head.
so helpful for my second hear photography class I'm doing in university right now.. thank you so much
Very nice job explaining the 4 x 5 I myself shoot with a speed graphic
