Happy Birthday Todd! Thank you for all the great videos. Your video on the Chamonix 4x5 inspired me to get one and I am super happy with it. Have been using the Intrepid and was tired of the fiddly nature of it. Thanks to you and the Chamonix I have fallen back in love with 4x5. Thank you.

I have been recuperating from shoulder surgery that I had last January and doing any camera or darkroom work was difficult. The last few weeks I have been strong enough to do some photography but the weather has been wet, cold, rainy and windy so I was feeling like your bouquet looked. The day your video came out was the first nice day in a while so I shot four sheets of 4x5 Mummy 400 using a half frame darkslide and bracketed like crazy. I haven't developed the film yet. I also did about the same with a roll of Kodak Gold in a Horseman roll film back, I'm curious to see my results. It felt really good to to have a little project again, it helped adjust attitude a lot!

Todd, what dark cloth are you using with the Chamonix and what are your thoughts on it.

@steveh1273 6 ай бұрын

Enjoyed your work process. I've never used an incident meter, so obviously not a pro. I use Pentax reflective spot meters. I'm curious to know the advantages of when and when not to meter with incident as opposed to spot reflective meters. And, Happy Birthday!

@toddkorolphoto 5 ай бұрын

Well when you have a constant even light source like the window it's easy to use a reflective meter. Here using a spot meter would be a bit more difficult only because there were so many different colour surfaces to choose from. A reflective meter just made it easier.

@HerculesImages 5 ай бұрын

Happy birthday, really enjoyed the macro shots with the Pentax lens, colors were vibrant and popping, at time mute and pastely. What meter setting did you settle on.? Again Happy Birthday 🎉🎊🎈

@toddkorolphoto 5 ай бұрын

Pretty much settled on the medium light meter reading, and just did a few bracket shots from there.

Happy birtday Karol! Usefull tips on your video . Why don’t you make a Video on how using macro lenses on LF? Not only how to focus with them but also how to use dof, movement, which part of the subject to have focus in and which part out. Is it better using 4x5 or 5x7 or 10x8? Which focal lens do you suggest ( you have 105 , i have 120 and 180 but i feel easier 180)? Thank you

Hey Todd happy belated birthday. I have been following my you for some time and you have been of great inspiration for me to jump from medium format to large format. I have been given a wista 45 vx large format camera by my neighbor to see how I get on with large format. It came with a 150mm lens. I have a question. When looking at the ground glass with the lens open at 5.6 i have to be placed at a certain position otherwise the ground glass is dark and not bright. Very hard to see the composition. I am under a dark cloth during this. For reference my main medium format camera is a mamiya rz67 proii. I’m used to looking at ground glasses to compose. I used a graflex before and I didn’t experience this. Any advise? Cheers

@toddkorolphoto 2 ай бұрын

@@soulstart89 sounds like an older or home made ground glass. A good ground glass is bright and also a fresnel lens on the ground glass will help you out a lot as well, and of course a good loupe. Thanks for watching.

@RandyPollock 6 ай бұрын

A ignorant question, but with your metering just now on this video, you can set your exposure on the 4x5 just simply by setting it to what your metered? Just as you would do with a 35mm or med format film camera? Just curious.

@toddkorolphoto 6 ай бұрын

Yes exactly. Set your shutter speed and F stop the same as the meter.

@toddkorolphoto 6 ай бұрын

Indeed. All the close up work was shot with the digital camera and I made the appropriate compensation. I didn’t go that close with the 4x5, so that why I didn’t get into that. I did creat another video on close up with the large format where I explain that principal.
