Nice images, and your right about different paper/neg combination's. Darkroom paper developers will also alter the way your final image will look. As for a camera, I use a Wista SP, not quite as expensive as the Toyo, or the lighter wood made camera's, but has the same movement's as the more expensive 45's, and at the end of the day it's just a light box. Ever considered the Fuji GW 690 for portraits?.... using HP5 and DDX for stunningly smooth, grain free images, even at ISO 800. A nice on the shoulder, go anywhere camera with a legendary tack sharp lens.

You know I did almost pick one up last year as I'm a big fan of Mark Steinmetz and that's what he used for a lot of his work. It's still on my radar but I'm not quite done learning 4x5 yet. I like to stick to one thing until I consider myself ok at it!

Beautiful photographs. Sorry to hear about the camera. May I respectfully suggest that along with a potential new camera, you also consider a tripod with heft suitable for a 4X5 camera. BTW, your Schenider Xenotar is a very expensive sought after lens, as it is the equivalent of about F1.4 in terms of depth of field, in 35mm format.

Tom, what’s your opinion regarding large format versus GFX images ? Certain parts of the world large format development and film sheets aren’t largely available or quality would be suspect. I might not get access to large format work but am largely happy with my Hasselblad which has given me terrific images. The GFX system is something I’ve been considering for it’s larger resolution output. Glad things are moving along for you and I’m sure greater things are around the bend for you. Cheers Mr. Humble ! Your image output is impressive and admirable by the way. Another humble pictures production I see.
@Tom-Humble2 жыл бұрын
I definitely feel you can get extremely close to that Large format look these days. Using vintage lenses on the GFX system has got me the closest so far. I'll be doing a video about the GFX system shortly actually. I often shoot square crop on the GFX too so if you're used to composing for 6x6 it's great for that.
@baladino2 жыл бұрын
@@Tom-Humble getting a GFX is realistic possibility for this year. I would never be able to use large format in terms of darkroom availability and know how. I just received a brand new Leica MA Tom.

Hello Tom, very nice, I like every one of you shots. I have to ask, of the two 135 lenses you used witch do you prefer? I ask for a reason. I am at this very moment considering buying a 135. I am a retried portrait photographer. I have not shot film for more than twenty years and never on large format.
@Tom-Humble3 ай бұрын
I’m actually prefer the Fuji lens as it’s a touch sharper and has betting coating to deal with flaring etc.

This is cool, shooting portraits with a 4 x 5 and 135 mm lenses. I have that same Fujinon lens as well and I have a Graflex pacemaker camera so I could do this too. The Graflex has a rangefinder which can be easily calibrated to 135 mm lens which was the standard lens for the Graflex, then I wouldn’t have to keep checking my ground loss like you’re doing for every shot. The rangefinders really accurate which kind of make them like a Leica on steroids. Thanks for sharing this with us. I’m going to have to try this out.👏😊Regards Gerry
