Often things don't work out as expected, but I still could make it work with some frustration
Beside my woodworking fail, I also had a 3d printing issue and thats why I show you how to replace the building plate of the Artillery Sidenwinder x1,

Nice!
If I understand it correctly that lens is a very fast one for a 8x10 camera!
Hopefully you can resume your life again when the silly lockdown ends!
Normally I shoot with F3 lenses, but for group shots I think this kind of a lens is much better. It is pretty fast for 300mm and it is also not that price like my Dallmeyer 3B that has a similar focal length
The only lens I use in studio!
I know and you do great work with it!
Great lens. I use it with my 8x10" and 10x12", sharp from edge to edge :)
thats the reason why I went for it!
Austria: *Builds new mounting plate for large format lens with compatible flange*
Meanwhile I can't find a place to cut a small metal piece to fix the Auto Lens Cocking-mechanism on my Mamiya C330 that was removed.
Ahh South Africa.
I know that feeling, Is there a chance to get some tools for that where you are?
Ha ha I understand being impatient. Congrats on the lens.
Thanks a lot Kary!
looks great!
thank you Gabriel!
That 'family portrait' was fantastic, great work as usual
Thanks a lot - hahaha 😹
I just did the family portrait and will post it at the end of the week ;)
I love looking at Wet Plate work. Thanks for the inspiration!
Happy I could inspire you - you should try it!
Always love the results from the tintype. The multiple exposure looks amazing.
Thanks a lot!
I was thinking about getting a 3d printer for lensboards and other stuff. In the end I got a CNC. When I see this video I’m glad I did ;) . Lensboards take 10 minutes instead of 8 hours (and are wood). Many People don’t know that for 8x10 (and higher) you need to be a handyman as well! Nice vid Markus.
Thanks a lot Philip. I totally can understand you, I was thinking to get a machine that can do both, but it is pretty loud and expensive. The cnc designing is a bit more complicated from my point of view. Maybe I get one some day. Which one did you get?
As always, I am inspired! Thanks for sharing and for reminding everyone to turn problems into opportunities!
Thanks a lot. I think a success is even more sweet if I had to fight for it. Not that I need this problems everyday, but it reminds me on a long hike with a beautiful view at the end.
I just finished a family shooting with that lens and this time a little fail turned out to be helpful. Will upload the video soon.
Nice to see others having to go through the troubleshooting process too.. I was just mounting the flange for my first petzval on an extra lens board and the brass screws kept breaking within the hard wood of the lens board! Ugh. Works for now though!
its always a pain to fix those things, but after it worked all out its a wonderful feeling to hold a finished plate in your hands and know what you have done to get there.
Never put brass screws (regardless of size) straight into hardwood. Always run a same-size steel screw in as a sort of tap.
@@paulwomack5866 thanks for your comment, what do you mean with tap?
@@mhaustria No, sawing an enormous hole in the lens board (without breaking it).
Just mark with compass, saw (near) to line, finish to sandpaper on a broom handle.
Lets go Cubs
Saw my first Cubs game in Chicago 2009 - took a long time until they won it all :)
@@mhaustria Glad you got to enjoy that moment with the rest of us. My family has been fans of the team from before they played at Wrigley. 2016 was really special! I hope you can come and photograph Chicago, once Covid gets better. Have a great day!
@@DeRose05 I enjoyed Chicago - lots of good authentic food from other countries. Als the people I met were very friendly. I just found this old gallery blog.markus-hofstaetter.at/index.php?s=Chicago
@@mhaustria Awesome! I'll take a look!
Oh hey, that worked out really good! Except for the Y-axis pull on the printer that sucks. :(
Thanks a lot - I will talk about that in my next video - teaser: it was a new printer out of the box that did that to me
Marcus what is that contraption with the string holding the lens? Can you send me a photo? I need something like this for my big brass petzval
That’s a my self made lens support. I explain how I made it in this video: ua-cam.com/video/rVxV7QTjqbw/v-deo.html
@@mhaustria perfect thank u!
@@mhaustria oh, I see I already watched that video lol. How quickly the mind forgets
breast dome nuts (subtitle), nice describtion how to call them.
hahaha - here comes my Austrian accent in handy - UA-cam subtitle generator likes to think dirty :) Brass and breast is not that similar though
