Just thought I'd share a fun little video from the weekend. I went out with a photographer friend who shoots digital and dabbles a bit in medium format film with a Rolleiflex. He recently got one of the new Intrepid cameras and is totally new to large format. I set him up with lens, film etc. and we went out shooting. Another friend was a long and made this quick little iPhone video.


I'm the other guy in the blue. I was shooting my Super Graphic.
 
Very interesting, nice scenery to boot.
A question: at 2'39" there is a quick grab of the ground glass. There appears to be a red line running horizontally across the GG, is this something that came with the camera, or is this something that happened on the phone software?

Looked like fun; good weather, plenty light, not too far off the road.
Thankfully no Grizzlies around.

Can I ask what lens he borrowed from you, and how did his shots turn out, using which developer etc.

I lent him my 135mm Nikkor-W, lucky for me I had a random Linhof board lying around from a past lens purchase.

We were shooting New55 Atomic-X film rated at ISO 50. We haven't had a chance to get together to process his sheets yet but mine turned out well, developed for 8 minutes in Ilford ID-11.
 
Nice video.

Out of curiosity what's the backpack at 0:51?
 
It's an Dead Link Removed. It's my go-to for my large format system, a really good pack for biking/hiking/skiing etc.

Thanks. I'll check it out. I need a new bag for my Speed Graphic.

I got a 90's era LowePro Photo Trekker for my LF system on eBay for $25. Carries my Tachihara, 7 film holders, lens filters, dark cloth, loupe + accessories, and 2 lenses. And it has straps I can hang my tripod from underneath.

Usually I'll throw a 35mm cam in the outside pocket for fun too. And of course a notebook and pencil that I never use to take notes.
