Awesome project and looks cool.

This is my camera! Bought it in 2020 under 100 and I love it. It's my main film camera to use and it always get the job done. Glad that its getting the recognition that it deserves!

Maybe printing onto inkjet transparency sheets could save you some money... unless you want to do the 4x5 version.

The current price is bloody ridiculous!

Looking at the Ektachrome 5294 spec sheet (because movie spec sheets actually have camera stops along the curve): It starts clipping the highlights at around four stops over. So setting your exposure so that’s where the highlights of the image falls should be a decent way to ensure the white point is correct. I’d probably still use a middle grey patch to make sure the mids track with that. But of course that’s also dependent on where middle grey ends up falling in the scan. Going for the highlights is probably the best. And yes, you really gotta use a spot meter for that.

WAS THAT MUSIC FROM THE ARTIST "1900" IN THE BACKGROUND OF THE BEGINNING WHEN YOU WERE HOLDING THAT PHOTO?

I know you have a problem. You don't have a Contax T3. #ContaxT3videowhen?

i think with big operations like this,there is never given much care, just the amount of care that doesn‘t destroy possible value for valuable things.. Money is everything after all.

Very cool!!

Killer clowns ❤

Thanks Caleb, great review! I almost landed this little lens on Ebay, sadly lost the bid, and ended up buying something else. I might have to get one, the macro/wide angle feature seems pretty cool! 😁

Lovin the Graflex Back. I like being able to fire off 6 pics without any fussing. "Bam-Bam," next sheet is ready.

Maybe I’m asking a stupid question, but would this not degrade the positives over time?

a second sheet of plexiglass on the outside might make the lamp more durable

You’re like MacGyver! I realize most of your audience probably doesn’t know who that is, but their parents do!

Nikon are the ultimate cameras

Good information but stop trying to be funny... seriously. 🤦

Pentax 67 sounds like some poor MF's neck cracking.

I had one for about 3 months.... used it once and then sold it again. it was cool, but something about it wasn't for me. I also sold my M3 and M2 after s few rolls.... idk too perfect?

Very interesting how you talk about the LTM flaring more whilst shooting only the M-Mount one with a hood 🤷‍♂️🫣

Super lampe j'adore, bravo! (par contre photographier l'écran d'un ipad en 4x5 sur de l'ektachrome, un peu délirant(mais beau comme ce qui est rare et difficile) comme idée! un tirage direct d'après fichier sur papier translucide ou transparent serait beaucoup plus simple et économique pour un tel projet, ... )

Love it :)

y'all got any fucking lamps?

Since you're photographing the ipad screen, would be possible to invert the images on the ipad and shoot with negative film?

Literally was just talking with a client about making a backlit picture frame for medium format slides! Haven’t yet checked if thats something that exists, saw this video first !

Do you have experience how quick slide film fades due to heat or constant light ? And would it be not so fancy but more accessible and cheaper to use medium format film (in another type of lamp) or print it on a laser printer onto slides and use these instead ?

Kool idea! Did you make several for holiday gifts? Happy holidays, see you next year!

Great project but couldn't you just have your images sent to be printed on a clear film rather than exposing sheet film off an Ipad? 🤷🏽‍♂

you could try Xeroxing coloured prints on to clear acetate to your required size and put them on a lamp if you dont do 4x5

This is a dope approach to a lithophane! Keep up the "Bad Crafts"!!

so cool

We need an all Jason lamp

Ah man, I’ve been wanting to do this for a while too!

I know it's not on film and all of that but you could totally do this with getting color transparency's printed at somewhere like Fedex with your favorite scanned images.

The green cast gives the shots a 1970’s/80’s developed-at-the-drugstore vibe.

Be careful when buying a 1nRS, the fixed mirror is super delicate and easy to scratch, which may also end up on your images. Definitely an area to check of you’re looking at one. Beyond that, incredibly robust bit of kit. Bought mine off a friend who had “upgraded” to a 1v.

Learned with Paterson tanks 20 years ago, and getting back into it a couple years ago the muscle memory never went away.

Now what if it spins like a lazy susan of incredible photography..?! Also Reminds me of those fluorescent light panel covers that had photos on them , seen in old delis or donut shops, but you did a far superior job of it, much higher fidelity indeed! 🎉 cool and crafty, i ❤ it!

Would be cool to see this wirh negative film. But I feel like that might take someone who does this professionally. Some sort of negative lamp pro

Next I want a tutorial on how to mod that Holga!

Pro tip: Plexiglass has a blue film that needs to be removed. I was so confused why my hardware store only had blue plexiglass. *face palm*

This is gorgeous!!

i love lamp. ive thought about doing this with all of my rolls sitting in the garage. Maybe someday! Good stuff man.

Love it man! Too cool. What if they could be combined and run through that moving underwater kida toy. Instant analog slideshow!

I could get behind a Bad Crafts series

This would be cool with some sort of panorama shot that consisted of several positives. Though, that might only work when looking from the inside.

Good morning Caleb. I think its time for a new video

I really enjoyed this Ode to Arby's. You so beautifully captured this signs last glory days. When all the lights finally flicker out, and the building becomes a habitation for all manner of wildlife... You will have this special little time capsule to revisit anytime. Yeehaw Arby's, yeehaw. 🤠 🍻Cheers to you Caleb!

I love my Yasuhara t981, I have the same setup with the cannon Serenar 1.8, Its a quirky camera with its interesting flaws

Where was the Day 1 event held at? It had all the barrels. I'm in Chicago later this week and would love to visit that spot for a beer. Thanks!
