If you really want to make a space sublime, buy a few owens corning 703 acoustic mats. Two, 2x4 foot panels, put into frames and covered with whatever you choose, will take much of the reverberating sound out of that room. Its a small investment but will pay for itself over time, as it will add much, much peace to your space. Love the channel btw. I'm sitting at home atm waiting for a roll of 35mm to dry so I can scan them.

I liked the concept but it was not useful as a spotmeter for my large format film use. I was never sure the meter was looking directly at what I was trying to measure AND the spot area is too large (larger than the circle in the meter). In certain situations, it erred by two stops compared to my conventional spotmeters or the spotmeter setting in my digital cameras. I since found that there are light meter and spot meter apps for smartphones that are (IMO) easier to use and more accurate. AND since I have my phone with me all the time, I use that and no longer carry a light meter at all. OTOH, I'll admit that if my life depended on a perfectly exposed photo, I'd use a conventional spot meter like the Pentax V or Digital model, a Minolta Spotmeter F, or a current Sekonic! ;)

Nice to see you try 4x5. In a darkroom the difference is amazing. Enjoy.

it was cloudy day?did you try push sunlight day?how about it?

That's an awesome and funky film stock. And you certainly made good use of it with your choice of subject matter and compositions. That reminds me of the colour infrared slide film I shot years ago (that was discontinued long ago.) It had to be loaded in the dark. I shot one roll with a yellow filter and it made vegetation turn pink. With that film stock long gone, I might look into getting a roll of Lomochrome Purple as a kind of substitute.

I really like these intimate close ups of the flora. Very nice attention to detail. Also very good audio quality from that lapel mic. Out of curiosity, do you manually set the recording levels for audio or do you leave it on automatic?

I really like the detail in those images. And it sounds like you got an awesome bargain with the 124G. I got a really good deal on a Yashica D TLR with Yashinon lenses via eBay. The back of the camera was painted orange due to it previously belonging to a school. Very few people bid on that camera. I guess not many people want a camera with an orange back! Well I didn't mind. I got the winning bid with US$30. And it cost another $30 for international postage. The camera worked perfectly and I had a lab print a big enlargement of a landscape image that I had shot with this TLR which I submitted to an art exhibition. Unfortunately, I haven't used this camera for a few years and the shutter is sticking with the slower speeds. I recently put some film through it again and just stuck to the faster shutter speeds.

Really enjoyed this and well done.

@JessHobbs Great job on the editing on this video it came out amazing. You just gained a new follower on here and on Instagram.

I just received my Holga 120N the other day and I am 6 shots deep with 5 shots left and I can't wait to see the results. This is my very first medium format camera. I have a funny feeling that I will be addicted to this camera lol. @JessHobbs

Beautiful work. Ive shot medium format film but not Polaroids.

Great compositions and choice of subject matter. And the clarity and detail look amazing on 4 x 5. I used to shoot 6 x 7cm 120 film myself years ago (with a Koni Omega Rapid.) It allowed me to capture some beautiful images of nature but unfortunately, it wasn't a very reliable camera at times. I missed out on some photos due to the camera refusing to cooperate. I once took a long journey by train to shoot a landscape in the late afternoon light but came back empty handed because the cable release wouldn't fire. I would like to get into large format one day and the Intrepid looks like a good choice for those who don't want to spend a huge amount of cash on something like a Wista.

Those images are beautiful with the Fall colours. The largest film I have shot is 6 x 7cm. Though looking at your photos is something else. The clarity and detail really leap off my computer monitor. As much as I would like to shoot colour 4 x 5 film, I'll have to settle on B&W. The cost of colour sheet film here in Australia is insane.

I know I'm 6 years late to the video but the lenses are not exactly the same. The MC lens has better mid tone resolution and the F.Zuiko has more dramatic contrast ime with mine. Not sure if you mentioned when lens was with which film. Be curious to see similar test with the same lens swappes between bodies, or at least the same generation of lens shared.

I am half way through your post, and a year late. I wish you had let us hear your shutter's sounds, as they so let us in on the very process you appear to be enjoying. So it is a pleasure to watch you. I believe you need to think about filters! And now, back to our feature...

XLNT video and work by your BEAST. Luv mine, keep shooting my Dear. Maybe some B&W sometime??

Pentax/Vivitar lens caps. 😂

Man now this is something I’d buy!

Where can I buy one? Can you post the price?

for free??

What did you use to get the top down shot? Very nice!

Can't wait to see what the new space inspires! :)

Im in love with this. I have a Mamiya 645, and now I need a RB, 😂

I think anyone interested in an Intrepid camera has watched the RUclips unboxings/reviews, and has read the numerous reviews with pictures of unboxing. The cameras, often sent to reviewers for free, come in nice packaging, with each accessory carefully packaged for protection in transit. So, imagine my disappointment to receive the 4x5 Black Edition--which costs even more than the regular version--with three lens boards, only to discover that the camera was stuffed into a block of foam but no Intrepid box as shown in all of those reviews, and the lens boards weren't in any way wrapped, but rather were just tossed into the box naked to rub against and scratch the crap out of each other in shipping. I reached out to Intrepid to see if they had perhaps sent me used/returned merchandise, but I was assured that everything, including the lens boards, is new, and that they don't actually put their wares in any sort of branded packaging for direct-sale, PAYING customers. Given that so many of those free cameras sent out to RUclipsrs came in nice, branded packaging, all of this seems like a dishonest bait-and-switch. With the distrust I now have for this company, any shortcomings of the camera's design and construction are going to seem magnified exponentially, as every flaw will come with the stain of suspicion that it's the result of apathetic and even dishonest business practices across the board.

You do know that once you go large you don't go back.

Love this video, because it proves that the general rule of thumb for overexposing expired film tends to be correct, including for slidefilm. Lots of people say never overexpose slide film even if expired, but ive personally found that every roll of expired slide i shot always wanted more light than box, some by a stop, some by 2. of course, nothing beats actually testing the roll if you have the luxury to waist a few frames (or another roll spare!). Colours look great, thanks for the video

Jess, fantastic work! We'd like to collaborate, how can we get in touch? :)

So many versions, but all shite. expensive film, lousy photos. some marketing scheister is laughing all the to the bank.

Kodak is much more contrast, the Delta has much more shadow detail. Private investigators and police would prefer the Delta, but I like the Kodak much more for that punchy look.

If you ended up repairing your damaged spot meter, who repaired it for you?

Hey Jess!! It’s going to be a good day when one of your videos shows in my feed!! You are motivating me to get my RB out this week!

Great video - what's the viewfinder that you use at 0:49 seconds?

Love it! How are you filming the top down shots?

I overexpose streetpan by 2 stops.

Very nice video and great pctures ! Don't you have several backs for color films and bnw ?

How do you meter for light.

i absolutely adore my rb67, i was extremely lucky to find a lady who was getting out of the studio business, so i picked up her lovely rb with two lenses and a bag

Beautiful 😍

@6:01 "...and on some occasions it even took the place of a lens; which is just not cool". This is what sold it for me. Thanks for a good review. Phoenix, AZ

nice video :)

I love the Mamiya RB67. When you shot with the independent mirror release, I felt it physically because it's an awesome sensation I know all too well. Great camera!

My beloved brick.

it's hard to be creative when your not feeling it. i thought you got some nice pictures the first day. the black and white looked good for the foggy compositions. its all about timing and lighting. overall good job and nice to see another video. i can tell you know that rb well.

Nice video, Jess. I recently got my first pinhole camera so I'm doing a lot of experimenting. My first thoughts are that if you're taking a view of something you definitely need something in the foreground to really make use of the amazing depth of field and give a dramatic composition.

thanks Jess.What an endevour.LF photography is like meditation and thoughtful reflection. it looks like we need to do lots of home work to get the shot we want because of the constraints imposed by the camera and film.Nevetheless one day every thing will fall in place.I thought I would like to add something more.Use of Polarizing filter will take away the reflextion.ND filter will deal with light from above.unnoticed subjects could have saved your day like the mushroom on the bark of the tree which would not shake with breeze/ wind. Something to bear in mind when the film is only two or max four.
