Don't forget to tune in tomorrow at 4pm for the stream

If your camera doesn’t come with a step ladder I don’t even want to know...

Taking a large format photograph while standing on a car - definitely a bucket list moment

Was literally bout to sleep George, thanks.

“ma Mamiya”, nice subtle plug there George how much they payin you?

As an italian, that "Mamma mia" was smooth af

the amount of detail in those pictures is mad

One of the strongest cases for large format I've heard so far. Thanks for going beyond just the high resolution argument.

To add to the argument you made about unique cameras making it easier to approach people: Joel Meyerowitz used a large format camera for his portraits in Provincetown and they are magical. He said that people readily agreed to being photographed, which he mainly attributed to his camera of choice

no one wants a picture until the beeg boi come in

I'm really enjoying this series, I feel like they're a lot of value to be had from seeing what equipment has managed to stand the test of time, cheers!

The way you explain things is great. I find it very valuable, especially for large format beginners like me, how you explain the focus settings. I have subscribed to your channel, thank you!

Lovely video. I shared an early Chamonix video years ago when there was no information online. It's a great camera. Thank you for moving the meduim forward.

Damnn the 400H is in the intro is just goijg to become more and more of a flex

2:00 "Large format has huge benefits when you can get as high as possible." You said it, brother.

Thank you for sharing I do follow your channel for a while now and in my opinion, your 8x10 photographs are your best work, the way you document it with the camera is amazing! please share more of this :)

I love your channel George. Your presentation style is different and quirky, but thats what I like about it. You have a wonderful mind. Great work.

I appreciate your videos so much George! So digestible, calming and enjoyable to listen to you explain your process of shooting on these cameras!!

For some reason, even though I've only interested in film photography for a little over a year now, I find myself increasingly drawn to LF cameras, just because they're so ridiculous! Although not this size! The Intrepid 4x5 is more my size! haha

large format helps getting in touch with strangers. definitely can confirm that! its just so much more fun and u get nice results

Great video! love these photos and love how your videos have improved a lot in visual interest recently ^^

Fascinating video, far better than your average camera review thays all about the camera, its refreshing to hear a different perspective more how the camera affects/fits your shooting style. Love the videos look forward to more

Remarkable. Enjoined it very much!

Intro: i shoot a roll through each one .... me: waiting for the 8x10 roll. 🤔

Great video George. Large format looks so good, the emphasis that it can place on the subjects is so striking. Lovely photos.

9:00 10/10 for mic positioning

This is ridiculously impressive. I’m just getting into 35mm shooting on an old Spotmatic SLR. I like the feel that film provides, with its quaint imperfections. Or at least that’s how I justify my amateur technique 😬. But it’s incredible that you can get such a high level of technical performance with film. This definitely isn’t a camera for me, but I’m glad someone is doing it!

George another really nice video !

Thank you for inspiring me with this video.

gergo back to making videos about cameras?! lovely video, very enjoyed.

0:16 thats a very weird Pro 400H flex right there

Tripod spotting! Looks like the Gitzo GT5543XLS with a GH3382QD center ball head.

Dude you are really doing better and better

Just discovered your channel, and the first video I watch there's two images of where I live, Port Talbot. Subscribed 👍👍👍

seeing that photo of the sea 0:48 printed on the wall in Wexford was incredible

Nice video! Thank you!

Ty for this

That is one beautiful camera...

I find you interesting & brilliant on so many levels ;).

You take beautiful images

@NegativeFeedback, this was exactly the video I was hoping to see. Thanks a lot. How do you decide your aperture when making portraits with swing and tilt. It would be nice to see a sort of tutorial how you take portraits with lens movements. Seems that the only video's that are online with movements are involved in landscapes which i'm not really interested in. Thanks!

I love my Intrepid 8x10! Really want to get the black Edition 4x5 too

that moment when you realize your camera can capture more detail then you can

This video is literally the best explanation for my gf on why I need this camera lol 😂 thanks

Just found your channel. Great stuff. I need that tripod.

8x10 is my dream ! I wonder if I should go straight to it or go for 4x5. Artistically speaking it will open a brand new world of possibilities

sick crocs homes

Really like your Port Talbot photo.

I’m currently attempting to build a 4x5 (and then maybe work my way up to 8x10). It definitely makes it a lot cheaper, about $150 for the camera body, however I have access to an amazing makerspace with extremely expensive machines at my school. But that cost of film is still why I’m broke.

I liked this so much I watched all the ads...

This is a flex

Great vid although I would add some more things to the pro's column, the extra colour depth that you get from such a large piece of film and the ability to distort scene elements with movements.

Thank you for the great video! Have you only shot color negative film with the camera or also slide film?

Using 8x10 can give such a unique look. I want to try an 8x10 so bad

Very interesting video - for me large-format is all about slowing-down. Many times I've set the camera and ended up not taking the shot because when looking at the ground-glass as closely as you have to, you can see the shot doesn't work - the cost then comes to mind and you pack-up. I'm shooting 4x5 which is much cheaper than 10x8 but still every shot costs.

Wouldnt it be possible to achieve that panning effect with a tilt and shift lens? Just curious. Love the content man, very inspiring. Keep it up! :)

I really really want a 4x5 or 8x10 camera. I'm currently looking at the intrepid models

Nice jeep

1:45 Ma-Mamiya!

I constructed two 24x24 wet plate cameras as well as my LF film cameras.

interesting 👍

Great video!! Could I ask you what type of tripod you're using? I just got an 8x10:))))))) Thank you!!

I have the box I would like to know which lens do you recommend. Thanks

I don't shoot 8x10 but I do have a 4x5 Toyo Field Camera and love it

Hi, first of all thank you so much for all your reviews. I have a question, do you recommend Graphic Graflex to start with large format? Thanks.

@negativefeedback could you tell me what backpack you use. I have been looking for a new one to carry my 8x10

That tripod is massive lol

Could you please provide specific info on the lens used on your camera? Thanks!

Great stuff George - as usual. Do you scan those big-ass negatives yourself? With a flatbed scanner, directly on the glass? No Newton rings issues? Cheers

U should do a tattoo tour through tattoo portraiture

What microphone is it that you has hanging from your hat?

I've always thought of buying an 8x10 camera but the hassle and the price tag kept me away from it. Just throw a bunch of c200 at me and I'm happy for now.

Hey George I really enjoyed the videos with music, why did you stop?

💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿

300m at 5.6 sounds like magic

Dang, what tripod is that for that 8x10? Mine can't nearly go that high.

dijon tee is crazy

Opinion on the original pentax 6x7?

Looking forward to seeing the 8x10 back in action once again 👍👾 Dito the price of 8x10 film a good year since i shot any 😕

I wonder what is the size of the tiffs

If you are shy I don’t think you would be carrying that behemoth that scrams LOOK AT ME and pointing it at strangers 😂

Your video thumbnail image mentions the "200 megapixel film camera." I just did a little basic arithmetic. I can't afford an 8x10, but I have a couple 4x5 cameras -- a pre-War Anniversary Speed Graphic (working focal plane shutter, working and calibrated Kalart rangefinder) and a ca. 1950 Graphic View monorail camera. I can get above 400 megapixels out of a 4x5 negative with a ten year old scanner that I bought used for $200. By my calculation, if I had the next better scanner model that can scan film more than five inches wide, this same generation of scanner could pull more than 1.7 *gigapixels* out of an 8x10 negative. Enough to bring a pretty capable computer to its knees; that's above 10 gigabytes file size (at 48-bit color) without compression. A *modern* scanner could get more than half again that figure, if you had any way to store and manipulate the resulting files. So, yes. Detail. Tonality. Control. And let's not forget exercise.

Love your videos man. One thing. Maybe invest in a way to get rid of those pesky mouth noises?

Hello Geogre boi. What do you think about budget 8x10 shooting with black and white paper? Is it viable option for a poor boi ? I don't know who to ask so if anyone does know something, please. Great video as always.

That carton of pro 400h in the intro, no need to brag

2:00 what's the name and type of the car?

What lens do you use for your environmental portraits with 8x10 please , and what F-stop is suggested and do you think a 250mm is possible to be used ? I just bought one for 5x4 but thinking to give 8x10 a trial perhaps in the future ..

I was about to sell my hasselblad 500cm and buy one of these, but then I looked at the film price..

Hi NegativeFeedback, have you tried Cyberpunk 2077?

Frankly 200mp is an extremely conservative estimate for 8x10. Much more can be had from drum scans.... But as you said, movements are a huge advantage. It's hard to communicate how big of a deal movents are to someone who has never used them. I shoot 4x5. Maybe I'll be able to afford 8x10 one day.

How much of what you like about this do you think you would lose if it was 4x5”? It’s obviously more practical and affordable, but I wonder if there are benefits you feel are tangible that make all the extra faff and cost of 8x10” worth it.

You can easily get gigapixel images on 8x10 with a drum scanner.

Fujifilm GFX100s

Quick Question: Have you ever tried or thought about shooting on a super 8mm camera?

What's the tripod?

6x9 is compared to around 200 mega pixels as well, gw690iii

Why is a higher vantage point better when using an 8x10 camera?

whats that tripod yall i want one lol

I used to wonder why people would still shoot film, but as I've grown older, I realize that people are lazy. There's no risk. The procedure is TOO easy. And all you end up with is a photo you never really care about. All of these shots feel like they were hours of pain staking measuring and decision making. Lovely video, and now I have to buy one.
