Gallant Farm in Delaware County, Ohio is a preservation park that maintains the feel of a Great Depression era farmstead. In this video I use a 6x9 medium format roll film adapter until the large format process becomes more second nature. If you don't know Matt Day then go here. ua-cam.com/users/mattdayphotofeatured
Review: Was the H&Y RevoRing variable step filter adapter worth the YouTube hype?
Переглядів 6 тис.3 роки тому
The RevoRing from H&Y Filters was one of those products that got UA-cam buzzing. It the the final answer in filters? Maybe not for some, but its versatility makes it worth a look. I got my attention and I ordered one. It arrived quite a bit later. Here's my unbiased take after a few days of use.

This turned out to be no so bad of a first crack at a time-lapse of sunrise over the iconic Pineapple Fountain Charleston, S.C. With the camera on a tripod, I set it to capture a frame very few seconds. The exposure for each frame was 2 seconds, f/11 at ISO 200. I used nearly 200 images for this 8 second clip.

It's no secret the coastal city of Charleston, South Carolina is a beautiful historic destination.

    Subscribed! Hope of learning/finding Medium format stuff also about modern day GFX 50S (II) with Fuji or Canon adapted lenses on your channel, as I think you're a gifted teacher in explaining things passionately in this field of medium and large format cameras, Gogh to think I thought a few years ago these were on the verge of almost getting forgotten...

    Nice video! Reminds me of when I was a student, 20 years ago, I bought a Mamiya C330 for almost nothing. I then learned what a Twin Lens Reflex was. My lens plate was a 65mm and the shutter did whatever it wanted, some exposes it helped and corrected my wrong exposures, while other times it faultered my otherwise correct exposure. So it was a love and hate relation but it opened up the doors to medium format and I ended with the very reliable Rollei 6008 Integral II.

    Excellent video (also watched your previous excellent video that you made before this one) +1 Question: if for whatever reason one would wish to charge dual batteries SLOWLY overnight (battery life extension and no haste) on a say 12 Watt phone charger, would that overheat the phone adapter since it's NOT rated 30W+ as per Fuji recommendation? OR would that just be fine without overheating the phone adapter and just simply draw 12W and no more without overheating? For example an official safe Apple 12W phone charger with USB to USB-C cable.

    The manual is a bit confusing in that it refers to AE/AF , rather than just AE. Does this affect AF at all? Only if the camera is set to AF-C AND AE-L button is set to AE+AF? I have the AE-L button set to just AE, and this ‘toggle’ setting doesn’t *seem* to affect AF , which is what I want, but just wondered if my observation is accurate

    So I have a 2018 15 inch fully maxed out MacBook Pro with the i9 processor and the pro Vega 20 graphics card. Ever since I updated it to the Mac OS seqouia beta update, all my usb type c adds and hdds all have a listed read and write speed of around 30mbps per second when tested in blackmagic. Why the heck is this happening. I’ve tried everything like switching cables and using powered dongles and stuff. Nothing works. How do I fix this??

  • @dosergiobr

    Very interesting. I am a computer scientist and I would believe that a card reader slot should be faster, since there are more pins to connect directly to the sdcard what would make reading and writing faster. Usb has only two wires for all data transfer. The other two wires are only for power. So, if a USB appears to be faster than a sdcard slot with a lot of connection pins, there must be a serious problem with hardware or software design, even on a microprocessor level (bad decisions about interruptions and data bus usage).

    My 1TB X8 runs around 750-800MB/s with my laptop. It gets around 550MS/s on the desktop I use it with, but it's the desktop holding it back, because it's transferring from a SATA SSD. I have a feeling it's one of the more recent models. I'm sure it would be close to a GB/s from one of the NVME drives, but I haven't tested it.

One was as fast as usual, c.250 MB/s, the other had dropped to less than 10. Left the slow one connected for 10-15 mins and it's back over 250. Cheers for that. Ganpati bless.

  • @dr_jaymz

    Its because the actual flash storage is around 50M/s write speed. The only reason you get higher is because it has a front end cache that accepts data at 500Mb/s until its full and it dribbles it into the actual flash. I don't know how big that cache is, but diskmark can probably tell you if you increase the write set until it drops off a cliff. I think its probably somewhere around 4Gb. The same is true for all consumer flash but most of the time you won't notice because its well implemented and the large flash is usually 150Mb/s or more so its far less of an issue. But if you try to copy a 100Gb video file you'll see that you get 500Mb/s and then it will stop for 10 seconds then copy at 100Mb/s for another 5 seconds then stop for 10 seconds and it will do this repeatedly until the end of the copy. What I found for the X8 was that it seems to get worse as the drive ages and I don't know why that should be the case, or why a replacement should behave better - although we have caught manufacturers sending models out for review which are much faster than the ones everyone buys later on.
