    One thing I forgot to mention is that the open lens design attracts dust easily and after a while this affects the swing mechanism which in turn affects the exposure causing uneven bands to appear in the image, so that’s a consideration. I am trying to keep it in a case always but will update how that goes.

    Great video. I never really understood the appeal of 645, it seems too close to 35mm for me. If you are going to shoot medium format then you might as well go all in and shoot 6x6 or something larger.

    • @SathyaPeacock
      @SathyaPeacock 3 місяці тому

      hey thanks for watching. I mean bigger formats don't always mean better for everyone right? the 2.5 times larger canvas compared to 35mm does offer tangible image quality advantages that I already went over in the video. Compared to other larger medium formats, 645 offers more choices when it comes to fully automatic cameras with some exceptional glass, more shots per roll. This isn't to say 645 is the best, or that everyone should switch to 645 - certainly not making that argument - but it does seem to offer a sweet spot in formats where you get some of the benefits of image quality that larger formats offer while also retaining a fully automatic shooting experience for those that need it. Thank you again for taking the time to comment, truly appreciate it :)

    Thanks for the video. I'm interested in picking up a 645 camera so it's helpful. All else being equal it seems like a lot of 35mm quality comes down to scan quality. I'm really impressed with the scans people get with digital cameras at home so maybe I should look into setting that up.

    • @SathyaPeacock

      Hi Jay, glad it was helpful. Scanning certainly makes a big difference for 35mm negatives, I would recommend a digital camera setup - even second hand if you don't already own one. Kyle McDougall has a video on this - ua-cam.com/video/9IBh8nO3dRw/v-deo.html

    @randallstewart1224 3 місяці тому

    Nice video. You can make very high quality prints from 35mm negatives. For 20 years, I did so because I could not afford to get into medium format. I used the best 35mm lenses, the very finest, sharpest film. I sought out the most fine grain, sharpest developers. I shot everything on a heavy tripod. I made exhibition prints, which were often thought to be made with MF equipment, once accused of lying about it. But that is a terrific amount of work and extremely limiting in what you can photograph. Finally, the process was killing my enthusiasm for the hobby, so I switched to MF. Same results; much less work. I almost went to 645, but elected for 6x7, thinking that if I had to accept the relative limits of MF, I might as well get the best imaging return on the commitment. With ongoing improvements in film and developers, and still using my trusty tripod, at 75 and feeling the weight of the Pentax 67 system, I shifted to 645 to save my back. No regrets for any of those choices.

    • @SathyaPeacock
      @SathyaPeacock 3 місяці тому

      Thanks for watching and sharing your opinion Randall. A point well made about being able to achieve excellent results with 35mm. Would love to see your work from those days. Medium formats do make it easier for us photographers from a results perspective.

    • @randallstewart1224
      @randallstewart1224 3 місяці тому

      @@SathyaPeacock With so many people shifted from darkroom printing to digital scanning, I have reached the conclusion that format size doesn't mean much anymore. The scanning process tends to level all boats. Then, when you start digitally messing with the image, a digital print isn't going to show much difference between film formats. For the minority who stay in the darkroom from beginning to end, size clearly makes a difference. More by circumstance than plan, my future will test the print image differences between 645 and 6x7. (Fuji GA645Zi v. Pentax 67) My preference in print size has reduced from 16x20 inches to 11x14 inches. I am expecting to see no noticeable differences at rational viewing distances, shooting HP-5+.

      I am sorry this is a myth about having to wash film in running water! I have been developing film for 40 years and modern emulsions do not need to be washed for so long with no noticeable difference being visible. I have used the three wash, with increasing numbers of inversions, for 10 years and my negatives are as good now as when first washed.

  • @motorvelo
    @motorvelo 3 місяці тому

    As a professional photographer who worked on 5x4 and 10x8 for many years when film was the norm I can assure you that the zone system, so favoured by Amstel Adams is useless if you are ‘digitising’ the negatives. The zone system requires the exposure, processing and printing to all be part of the system and adjustments made along the way to accommodate the contrast range of the scene to that of the paper.

    • @SathyaPeacock
      @SathyaPeacock 3 місяці тому

      I agree that it was developed as a part of that yester-era workflow but I think it is still a useful tool to know where you want your highlights and shadows to fall - what detail is important, what is not etc., digitising doesn't magically solve metering mistakes? and I'm not using drum scans here just a home scanner. I could probably guess the numbers with sunny 16 in most instances, but if i'm paying £10 per sheet - I would like to have better control over my metering and to know for sure that i'm metering how I would like to. So, for me and how I work, it works. I don't use it for smaller formats now. Thanks for sharing your opinion though! Do you still shoot film?

    Excellent review. You should do an update now that Polaroid has released a firmware update that perfects the automatic exposures. Thanks.

      Thanks Kenneth, will keep that in mind - haven't had the chance to test out the new firmware update yet. Also want to try their new B&W film with 'improved' recipe. Thanks a lot for watching!

    You are doing it actually the way as I do (so I am probably doing it not totally wrong). Just some notes: Using the Massive Dev app is a great help guiding me through the development processes of different films and developers (I have mine configured also for C-41 and E6). Great to not get confused! Photoflo (wetting agent) is not optional, nothing is worse than streaks on your film sheets, you can "repair" this, but it is better to get it right in the first place. Just a few drops needed, one bottle will last forever. I also use a stop bath for my b/w films. To get the temperature right for C-41 or E-6 I just fill a bucket with hot tap water, this will heat up the chemicals faster (and cool down fast enough - room temperature here in DK is about 24°C). Using the TCS to heat up your chemicals takes forever, but it is ok for keeping the temperature with C-41 (but not quite reliable for E-6 as it will keep heating above 39°C). -- I know "filmscanner.info", but doubt if their information about the "real resolution" is true. According to my experience it is not i.e. the Epson's resolution is better, but I can not scientifically prove it, of course. I use digital ICE on my Epson scanner, when scanning colour or slide film, it saves me a lot of time (removing dust spots on film is nothing I like to spend my time on - having to do it on b/w is bad enough). I have used NLP, but I think it is only needed for DSLR scans, Silverfast or even Epson Scan are not worse... That were just my 2 cents/pennies.

    I started with an Intrepid 4x5 Mk IV (I think that model, it was still without Fresnel lens) - and in hindsight this was a big mistake! I didn't know if I would stick with LF, so I wanted to go cheap. But it drove me crazy with all its quirks and low-quality everything. So much details I had to tinker with to make it work for me (I started with LF pinhole photography, and the light seeping in from nearly everywhere cost me so much time and ruined shots, thus money, to learn where I had to do the tweaking and blackening to fix it, and it was never fully fixable). The Chamonix 45 F2 did away with all these frustrations from the get-go, and needed only very minute adjustments to work perfectly for me. All parts that could potentially let light seeping in are coated matte black or with black felt, the mechanics are so nice and smooth (and mostly adjustable). And exchangeable bellows are an absolute (!) must for such a camera, or you are never able to use all movements to their/your full advantage. You can't use a 90 mm lens for architecture without bag bellows! And the movable back standard is a stroke of genius that I often forget exists on this camera. It is expensive, but worth every single buck it costs. Addendum: 150 mm is the diagonal of the 4x5 negative (depending on the holder a bit less or more), so this is considered the standard/normal lens. As a rule of thumb you could just go with factor 3 to get a better feel of what you will get compared to FF/135 film (works reasonably well), so 150 mm is roughly equivalent to 50 mm (think 45 mm), 90 mm is roughly 30 mm (think 28 or 25 mm) etc.

      @@SathyaPeacock I was confused by your process. Normally I develop, apply stop wash (typically water), then fixer and then rinse for 10 minutes, I was under the impression that you don’t rinse due to the environmental effects which concern me as well. But do you dump the fixer and that’s it? Or store it for proper disposal? What is your workflow for developing? (I am looking in some fixers you can reuse). But I never heard of not washing since it is the step that removes the silver (and therefore not good for the environment). If you could share your overall workflow (which you have) with respect to leaving the last long water rinse out, I would be curious. You may have the answer to my problem.
