Nice brief overview of using these cameras. I have a Wista (not Wister!) 45dx field.
ОтветитьGreat video sir! Many thanks!!
Ответитьgood video, and tips, but as a starter, after focussing, LOCK all the controls, or check the tension knobs!- as you operate the shutter, insert film holder and manipulate the slides you Don't want the shot going out of focus, or any movements ill applied (cause unwanted distortion, blur of image parts) because of an accidental nudge.
ОтветитьDoubt i'll ever get to shoot one, but what beautiful machines!
ОтветитьOne very important rule you got wrong is loading the film in the holders. The black slide shows that the film has been exposed. The silver or white slide on the newer holders means the film has just been loaded and has not been exposed yet. This rule was always universal in the days of film. I used to work in a catalog photography studio; I used to load hundreds of 8x10 holders. If I ever got it wrong all the film would be wasted. So you see there has to be only one way of loading film. However, if you are not working for anyone, it probably won't matter, just don't confuse yourself.
ОтветитьFINALLY!!!! A photographer that uses the dark slide correctly!!!! White=Exposed to light.....Black=Not exposed to light!!!
ОтветитьNice video! Subscribed! Thank you! )))
Ответитьdamn i wish i had one of those
ОтветитьVery helpful. I've just bought and restored my first LF camera - a 1905 Lizars Challenge - so I'm trying to learn as much as I can before I load film into it.
ОтветитьGood information thank you: Don’t suppose you have a Horseman Topcon 970 kicking around there you could do a review on?
ОтветитьWhite side out for exposed film, and dark side out for unexposed film. That makes perfect sense.
ОтветитьMan, I stopped the video at 19 sec. I couldn't watch any more without writing my comment! You got me amazed just by how you started. Wow! What a nice upside down frame at the beginning! Amazing!!! I'm gonna keep on watching now. And you've just got another subscriber
ОтветитьThanks for a very informative video.
My only comment is that I wish you had used a field camera and a monorail camera for the demonstration instead of two field cameras.
Cool camera👍
ОтветитьYou may want to further research the standard practice for which side of the darkslide corresponds to exposed and unexposed film. In practice, it wouldn't matter, but I believe in your video, you state it opposite of what system most photographers practice. Which is, white for unexposed film and black for the exposed film.
ОтветитьJust found your channel. Quality content! Cheers.
ОтветитьYou didn't mention the little bit of maths you have to do to calculate the bellows extension factor.
ОтветитьGreat video! Every thing felt well organized, were I could understand, thanks! I'm into medium/standard format photography and have been wanting to get into large format photography. I wanted to ask, do you have any recommendations for a large format camera? I have been looking at some of those Crown/Speed Graphics, but those don't have a adjustable film standards. I just wanted to inquire your opinion, thanks. Cheerio!
ОтветитьWhat a wonderful channel. I wish you all the best with it and hope you grow your audience.
