@@legacy_mens Why's that?

@@chriscard6544 Agreed about the price being likely an issue for some (I got this as a review piece via Fstoppers), especially if you only develop a roll or two a month. However, in terms of value over time, I find myself seeing some other development tools skyrocketing in price to the point where the AGO seems fairly reasonable. I feel like I written a lot of gibberish just to say that yes, I definitely understand what you mean ha And that's awesome about the Deardorff. Fairly jealous of the Petzval as well!

@@MezeiEugen The Holga shutter has two speeds: "N" and "B." The N setting is a 1/100sec shutter, the B is bulb, where the shutter remains open for as long as the shutter lever is depressed.

@@AdamWelch what stands the N for?

@MezeiEugen Normal.

Thanks for the offer, Kristy but that's not something I'd be interested in reviewing here.

@@aunvamak1375 Get an undamaged prism.

There is no leather for the light seals.

That's actually a very good question and one I hadn't considered. I would suggest using it with the frosted diffuser and likely no negs larger than medium format 6x7 at the largest. I THINK it would work fine for larger negatives but you might experience some falloff. If you do use it for this let me know because I'd be extremely curious.

Well said, Chris. I'm glad this review resonated with you and even more glad to hear you seem to have found a camera that feels like an extension of yourself. Enjoy it, my friend.

I doubt it given it's a completely different make and model but of course I've never tried it.

Glad it could be of help.

My thoughts exactly.

I don't THINK you have to be a Prime member, but I'm sure shipping costs would apply just as with shipping to a residential or business. I would take a look at the shipping options during checkout to see if a pickup location may be available after following the instructions I show in the short for adding a pickup location to your options for shipping.

@@AdamWelch Thank you very much for the quick reply! I live in an area that only UPS,FedEx and USPS can find. I don’t really mind because I can’t impulse buy anything from Amazon 😆. But it’s nice to know.

Interesting. This episode was the first and only time I've used this tank. If I ever start shooting much 135 again I'll give your ideas a try.

Honestly, I think Ritter would love to chat with you, especially after I've had a look at your cameras. Absolutely beautiful! They actually seem to share common traits of Ritter's designs, innovative yet somehow familiar and traditional. On a personal note, I noticed on your Instagram you're a Berlebach user...few of us out there :)

@@AdamWelch I don't get to talk to any large format makers actually so that would be amazing if he'd be up for that:) Thank you for the kind words about my work, it's onyl the first camera that I made and I've learned a lot in the process and I've got much room for improvement. But yes the idea was to merge modern and traditional and bring back the ornamental aspect of the cameras back as much as possible, hence the wooden detail work. As for Berlebach amazing Tripod but I have an itch to make my own down the line as well, just for personal use':)

@@ONDUCameras You're a madman. I love it. Best wishes, my friend.

Hahaha then I'm the most humble person on the planet! Yes, I'm currently sitting here looking at my Ritter 11x14 and still find myself in love. I'm glad you enjoyed the episode :)

@@davidpresnell1734 What would be your alternative suggestion, Dave?

And alan watts just hit

Putting on playlists of Bukowski reading his own stuff is one of the best things I've ever done while printing. Like you say, somehow it fits.

Hey Mike, not sure if you saw the update but yes, there was quite a few developments. Here's the link to the episode kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2qwiperobqZf7Msi=E_oo1WGe6LyU_HrU

Thanks a lot, Sybille. Do you ever encounter any indentations from the screen with this method?

@@AdamWelch A nice flat sponge works great. It does take time to get most of the water out. Another screen on top will help.That keeps it flat.

@@sybillemuschik I have encountered indentations in the washi when I have left the paper on the screen unfortunately. I tried a method similar to what you mention but whenever pressure was applied the crosshatch pattern was imprinted into the paper. What (approximately) weight paper are you using? Perhaps mine is too thin.

@@AdamWelch This is an interesting problem. My handmade paper is much thicker than washi. Will try your method and mine for drying and let you know the results. We will probably do a video on it when we get the chance.

Hopefully it'll work well for you!

Ha! Thing is, as I was reading this I thought "hmmmmmm."

Thanks a ton for the kind words, Patrick! Glad you enjoyed it and happy to have you here.

Glad you got some use from it!

This was a loaner camera sent from Hasselblad for the review. It was returned to the company when I was finished.

Now THAT'S interesting. This makes perfect sense. You've taught me something.

@@danielarmstrong2144 Pinned!

Haha glad to hear it helped you out! As for Death Valley, if you've never been in the area the first time you witness just how vast the place is can be a bit overwhelming. I'm not sure how far off the blacktop you're planning on venturing but the only advice I can give is to of course be prepared with plenty of fuel, water, and food...but to also not underestimate just how established the main part of Death Valley is, especially in the Furnace Creek and Stovepipe Wells areas. There are restaurants, bars, golf course...pools, ect. It's not as inhospitable as it is made out to be by some. There is guess at the Stovepipe Wells store but it's alarmingly high, which is understandable really. I would highly recommend making the trip over to Death Valley Junction right on the border of the Park. It's a tiny town, getting sort of more well known now, the biggest draw is the Amargosa Opera house. Something to keep in mind is that when it's hot...it's HOT. Sure, a dry heat, but 125 is still 125 and in the summer it is brutally taxing on your body in places like the salt flats. Anyway, there quite a few backcountry places that I could tell you about IF that's something you may be planning on doing. Feel free to find me via the contact form at my website www.aphotographist.com with any questions along those lines and I'll help if I can. Best wishes to you and your own adventure!

Glad you enjoyed it! That's a very good question and honestly I'm still not certain how to actually gauge the thickness of the yarn. Sorry I can't give a more accurate answer.

Very interesting. Do you mean the linen tape on these particular holders or just in general? This coating (on these particular holders) wasn't vulcanized as far as I could tell. Very much an extremely soft, surface coating. Or at least that's what it felt to be at the time.

@@AdamWelch hi Adam. I had been given a roll of that tape in the 70’s by the owner of a camera shop. I bought a used graphlex from him for 20.00. He gave me the roll of tap to repair the bellows and the film holders I lost that roll somewhere in the move from NY to New Orleans. It was Amos like he cloth tape that electricians used Very tacky. .
