Yosemite, a great place to take photos and is on my bucket list. Kudos to you going with the 4x5, probably too many camera adjustments for me. I purchased a Pentax 645 a few months ago and using Pentax 6x7 lenses on it. I am working on my 3rd roll of film. I am trying to resist the urge to purchase a Pentax 6x7 camera before inflation drives the prices even higher.
The best design for moving the front standard is the one on the Linhof Technika and the British MPP Technical field cameras. Two push buttons release front standard to slide along two precision dovetails. My Wista Field DX uses two locks and two runners along slots to achieve the same. Both of these alternatives are much more costly to implement. Perhaps Intrepid could allow the front standard to slide along a precut slot with the thumb screw using a T bolt to tighten the standard, so long as the rigidity of the set up was not compromised.
@@BadFlashes The only caveat with my MPP MKVII ( Linhof is way out of my financial league ), is that it is made of solid Aluminium and therefore weights a Ton, as we say in England ( about 8.5 lbs to be more exact ), so they are not as portable or hiking friendly as an Intrepid or a Wista field DX. Keep up the good work with LF camera. They are a different world from the shoot two hundred frames maybe one would fit the bill, of the digital world.
I like LF exactly because of how much control there is. You can also contact print the images in the darkroom without an enlarger. I know everyone (rightly) associates Yosemite with Ansel Adams but everyone should check out the work of Carleton Watkins. His wet plate images, taken with the help of a portable darkroom, several mules, and a couple hundred glass plates and volatile liquids, helped inspire the creation of the park.
Your comment about carrying all your gear and it's weight brought back a memory from Ansel Adams' autobiography about a summer in Yosemite in the early 20th century when he apparently succeeded in getting his father to send the money to buy a burro to carry his stuff as he hiked around the park taking pictures. His outfit was likely much heavier than ours, including gear for camping as well as the heavy glass photographic plates he used back then, but my photography backpack was about 40 lbs when I was in my 40s and early 50s and I routinely carried it all day (admittedly over much flatter ground. The Midwest is as short of mountains as it is oceans.) Anyway, one time my wife, curious about what I was doing all weekend, came along to help. A word of advice: talking your partner into playing the part of your luggage carrier is apparently a Bad Idea. Your mileage may vary.
I plan on getting into 4x5 by buying a Stenopeika 4x5 hyper camera! I thought about getting an intrepid but I've heard from a lot of people that they've had issues with QC
I do get what you are saying, about price, BUT this style of camera, like Ebony, shan-hao, Stenopeika, and some others don't have detents or geared movements, meaning they are hard to set and keep at zero position, esp. the rear, which can cause a lot of heartache as this can wreck the perspective, or distort the image, and esp. if just a casual touch can let it creep a bit (as the locking isn't a tight fit); but conversely a Linhof, cambo (monorail), or Toyo has detents, so when you get to zero, you FEEL it, and the locks are solid, so no in-advertant movements are applied, you have to "shift" it deliberately and this, to my thinking gives a level of confidence, that if "all is at zero" while you learn things, less can go 'wrong' and the more successful the first steps, the more likely you will enjoy shooting, and Less likely to revert back to smaller film or digital mediums.
I appreciate all the BTS of you walking through all the steps, kinda looking like a crazy person before clicking the shutter. Just because it makes me feel less alone in my insanity.
My Like for All your work! Do I agree with LF? Nope! If you used your Leica, with a 50mm/35mm lens as carefully, a fine grain film, the differences in bigger prints, will be much the same! I once did a job wih 6x7 and 35mm to 12x15" prints. Even my printer could not immediately, see which was Bigger film. the cost of film was not acceptable decades ago, for famous portrait photographer! He moved to 35mm Nikon-F! Arnold Newman! Good images! Oh! I'm 80, so hauling that amount of gear, is pure nightmare! Again Bravo! Save your knees and back..
Well well well. Go to vinyl? I have started buying them more and more recently. Ohhh nice COC..Camera. The Point Reyes shot is so crispy, I love it! Mustard is your color btw. I like that hat. I think I would like to be a hat boy from time to time but then my head is so big, most hats don't fit. Size does matter...in film. Someday, I will try out 4x5, we will see. Intimidating for sure. Backpack AD? oh Squarespace. Love SquareSpace. Need to revamp my site really. Coffee, that is what I need right now on this Thursday afternoon. Whats the shutter times on some of these shots. Do they take more light/time than a 35mm or 120? 99 degree weather, wow Cali is nice right now. It's rainy and cold here in Kansas. Typical though. That black and white shot of the shack deal is so good. Very nice(chefs kiss). That portrait, wow. The DOF. Nothing negative about that negative size. WOW I need Short hand for these comment stories.
Rad! Great shots and that shed one esp is imo a banger. They are constructing my Intrepid 4x5 as we speak. Nervous jump right into the deep end with this haha, but hey I look forward to trying it out and seeing what the fuss is all about!! I even pre-ordered the Lomo Graflock back so I get to have some instant film fun and I will definitely order a roll back at some point so I can practice with cheaper 120 film.....My biggest concern is whether I will actually have the energy to take it out and go somewhere with it lol, but that's on me not the poor camera. Another fun part of large format is picking lenses...literally like a century of lenses exist that you could use and that entices the collector in me (and makes my wallet cry). Someday when I get used to this I will want to splurge on like a nice Chamonix ....someday if I get the $$$. (My dream would be the 5x7 Chamonix with a reducer back for 4x5. Would make it awesome to shoot 6x17 panos as well Nick Carver style)
I have to say yasss yo all of this!! Thanks for enjoying the video! And that’s exciting! I remember waiting eagerly for mine to come in the mail. And don’t worry about not wanting to take it out. It will call your name and you will listen 😆 There are some beautiful lenses… I’m on a trip with my LF now and I want to collect so many lenses now for different types of shots. Oh wow. You will love using it. Trust me!!!! And yeah someday I feel ya… chamonix would be so lovely…. Someday 😝
Once you use a camera with no thumb screw and hard stops for zeroed position, there is no going back. The set up and adjustments are much faster... I started using 4x5 about 2 years ago an Im addicted. It changed my landscape photography.... Developing at home really helps with cost.
Oh my God I know you’re so right. I’m actually on a large-format trip right now and that is the bane of my existence!!!!!!! I’m definitely looking into another 4 x 5 with better front standard controls
@@BadFlashes yes! I had an intrepid for about a year. And while I love what the company has done for large format and they have great customer service, I never liked those two things about it. I picked up Wista DX second hand and absolutely love it… but whatever you go for, if it has zero stops and no thumb screw, you’ll think a lot less about setting the camera up 👍🏻
The only way to get around moving the front standard when changing lenses is to move from a field camera to a monorail. I have a horseman45 that I can breakdown pretty easy in a backpack for hiking, it just a a little more set up involved.
There are a few cameras out there that work on smaller rail type systems that are in the same shape as a field camera they were just more expensive than the intrepid. lol someday I think I’ll move to one of those.
Nice video! If you were thinking about doing something with colour, have you thought about doing a black & white trichrome process? That could look really cool with 4x5.
I would love to get into 4x5 one day, but Fuji no longer makes Velvia 50 in 4x5, which makes me real sad because that was the stock I was most excited to try in large format...
@@BadFlashes Ektachrome is nice, but it's not Velvia, ya get me? Ken Rockwell's work is a recent inspiration of mine and he shows off a lot of shots that were done on 4x5 Velvia. It's fantastic! At least the medium format stuff is still around (even if I don't have a 120 camera...), so one day I can go to Bliss with a Mamiya RZ67 and take my own shots of Bliss. Unless Fuji kills that next... :/
@@BadFlashes Pfft lucky. The only thing my mom ever made was my dad leave......he'll comeback one day....i mean, how long does it take to get cigarettes anyway?
I would say the camera that’s in your price range…. I would start there. Those Sinar’s are probably a bit heavier because it’s a rail camera … so It also depends on what kind of pics you want to take with hit. Wouldn’t want to hike with a rail cam. Hope that helps
@@BadFlashes I have a Calumet-Gowland Pocket View monorail with a Carl Zeiss Jena 13.5 cm f/4.5. It’s old and clunky, a little difficult to use (and keep locked down as you need a hex key to adjust the standards), but the results make me happy 😃. I have 8 film holders too. That’s nice.
Simple fix to zero out your front is there a little tiny marks that intrepid put on there put some masking tape and form a small line take some testers model paint yellow gold whatever color paint a line when it dries pull the tape off you now have zero points that will not come off.
Question: Is that hat worn in the video , which looks like an exact copy of the one Ansel Adams wore in in his Yosemite years from the 1950s - 60s, by intent or just a coincidence? I've vivited Yosemite in the past about a ha;f dozen times in all seasons, and I've never seen it filled with smoke like shown here. I wonder if this is the new "normal" for the foreseeable future.
are you developing your own? I went down the path of Bounet's 4x5 reel and been having a real tough time with it, the anti-halation layer doesn't always wash off and I have to go back and fix multiple times, I'm looking for something different to try.
Yeah I do… I use the mod 54 … I can’t 100% recommend it bc it’s a pain to load sometime. I’ve had my images fall out while being developed and scratched. Only happened once but still… I’m looking for another good option. Are you talking about B’s ??
@Bad Flashes Caleb, I enjoy your videos but not sure what you were trying to do here. If you don't learn how to operate a View Camera it's a complete waste of money. I couldn't discern if you were "dumbing it down" or didn't know wtf you were doing. At least you had a tripod that was appropriate. Maybe you could show Jason yours and tell him he needs one 50% bigger/heavier for the 8x10 he inexplicably acquired. By the way, what's up with the boat. Is it a pilgrimage or some rite of passage? Don't understand you and J"s fascination with it. Why don't you stay closer to home and maybe take pictures of swimming pools like he does. Enjoyed the off camera female assisting with shot selection. Really not trying to dump on you, but I hope someone after watching this, does not go and order an Intrepid without understanding what they are getting into. Aren't you too hyper for a View Camera anyway ? Oh, I forgot, loved the hat, but to complete the look you need a 50's Pontiac wagon with a platform on the roof ;)
