That should be xp2 super not +

Hi Philip, I never did run another side-by-side test (thanks for the reminder, I still might do that), although I have shot E100 a handful more times in other situations and never noticed any further issues with achieving sharp images. My leading theory is that I have a defective film back on the 6x6, although I need to do more tests to prove that out.

For the most part you’re absolutely right, the same results can be achieved using front movements, although it’s nice sometimes to have the option of both. The one difference that comes to mind is the distortion you can get with heavy rear tilt. By tilting the film plane closer/further away from the lens you can selectively change the magnification factor and exaggerate or minimize the foreground/background for example, which is different than what you get by applying front tilt. Most cameras have at least rear base tilt that will accomplish this though, a monorail camera is certainly not necessary.

Thank you for explaining. To be honest, i can’t visualise that scenario in my mind. I guess if you what a topic your next video, rear tilt, swing and shift that can’t be achieved with front camera movements would be of great interest to many 35mm photographers that have never used a wonderful view camera. I appreciate you taking the time to make these videos. I’m sure it’s not easy.

Thanks Richard!

These days were pretty early in my experience with large format, and if I remember right the only lens I had for my kit at the time was my 180mm f/5.6. I almost always end up using at least a touch of front tilt unless there's nothing very close to the camera in the foreground, apologies if I fail to mention that as I've been trying to be better at covering that in the videos. I don't remember needing to use too drastic of movements, nothing that a medium format camera couldn't handle with the increased depth of field compared to large format anyway. I think medium format with normal and wide lenses would do great in Bryce. I've returned a few times with various additional lenses and camera systems and I've found ways to make use of any focal length I've had with me - I've shot tight compositions of details with long lenses, medium stuff with normal lenses, and plenty of grand scenics and shots amongst the hoodoos with wide angle lenses. If you're willing to hike down the trails away from the main viewpoints and keep an open mind I think you can find something with any system and lens you have, the park seems to have it all. Hope that helps!

Hi Denny, mine is a Garmin InReach, the original model (not version 2). So far it’s served me well, although I’ve been fortunate I haven’t needed the emergency features yet!

Thanks Hans, I’m honored!

Hi Burnes, I came up with a way pack it flat into a camera bag with a 3d printed mini-rail that holds it together. I’ve since moved to a field camera though

Thanks so much Jim!

Thanks Matt!

Thanks so much! On this trip, shooting with the Canon 5Dmk4, I brought five batteries total, one in the camera and four spares. Typically I'd say I went through around two or three batteries a day, and I don't really remember them being overly affected by the cold. It stayed in the 20's and 30's (F) the whole time we were there, so I'm sure that would have been a different story if the temperatures had been colder. Hope that helps!

@@ChrisDarnell Very helpful! Thanks so much! Appreciate you taking the time to respond!!!

Agreed! I don’t shoot mine as much as I should, but every time I pick it up it inspires me to get out!
