Thanks for the video! Also metering systems usually UNDERexposes snow scenes. That's why you need to enter positive exposure compensation to make the snow white but not grey.
While using a digital camera as a meter definitely works, it's really not optimal. Any camera that has a built in light meter is going to be an reflective lightmeter. So using a pocket digital camera is going to underexpose bright scenes and over exposure dark scenes just like any other meter. So you would have to use the meter, check the image, and then bracket to find the correct exposure and then transfer that to RB67. It's much easier to just use a dedicated incident meter.
great video, i bought my first medium format 2 days ago, i shouldve learned more about it before i bought it but for the price i got it for it was great n its in fully working condition. so hopefully i get more tutorials online about the focusing scales, shutter speed and about the 'T' timer? or bulb? i dont know how the it works for that mode coz it seems to leave the blades open even if i let go of the shutter. thanks for this awesome vid man.
Great tip in the digital camera, i worked out the same thing myself! I bought an expensive Sekonic meter, but after testing realized i was better off just using my old Sony A7 as my meter, put the settings in manually, see my exposure in the EVF, copy those settings on the camera and it pretty much nailed the exposure every time! So i returned the Sekonic for a refund. This was with a Nikon F2, but i guess it'll work with the RB67 as well. My only doubt is that i was swapping the same lens back and fourth (via a Fotodiox adapter), but this wouldn't be possible (without a crop on the Sony), so perhaps this would be less accurate? Maybe it doesn't even matter if i have a completely different lens on the Sony? I'm not sure, i'm a beginner haha!
I re-watched that part, in case I needed to add an annotation, but I did say it right. I would have added in photo examples to help show what I meant to people who haven't made those mistakes yet, but there weren't any good creative commons attribution only examples on flickr.
I have an RB67 and a 645, needless to say I love MF film, and well hell 35mm too as I have 5 of those too, but a good MF film shot scanned in at 6400 dpi is a insanely huge and detailed file that my D810 and defiantly my D5 can't touch. Thanks for the video as I have yet to see extension tubes used with a RB67
Good video, well spoken, thanks for making this. I've heard of using a digital camera as a light meter before, but never tried it. Maybe give it a test. Does 100 ISO translate into 100 ASA? Thanks again.

love how this video was recommended to me after my partner and I had been talking about this type of clock
Thanks for the video!

Have you ever tried Paper Negs or Positive Paper in the Polaroid back? IF so, got video? thanks
