Just wanted to say, unlike Polaroid film, Instax exposes from the back and therefore doesn’t need an opacifier. What that means in practical terms is you don’t need to shield it from light while it’s developing. In my experience the film is spot on in iso, if anything it can benefit from +1/3 of a stop for shadows at times. How accurate is the shutter in your graflex? It looks like it might be lagging slightly and over exposing. Great to see the the instax in use out in public!

A joy to watch the effort! Great fun, great video!

Another great Feasting on Film video. I’ve been taking my 4x5 out on hikes lately and have taken a few portraits of people I meet on the trail. I definitely feel under pressure trying to be quick and not mess up too badly.

I shoot @200~400 with square in full sun and get decent results. Its a super tricky film to shoot outside a studio. Also, I just noticed im trying this comment on a preview lol. It just stop and I was like huh?!

I came to watch a photography video but now I’m totally craving seafood 😂 Great vid, like usual!

Awesome video Ribsy. I just scored a graflex crown graphic on ebay and will be trying some instant photography when the lomo graflock comes in. appreciate you always being my inspiration. P.S. Seagulls cary the souls of the dead sailors. Hold Fast & Stay True my friend.

Brilliant! Taking folks photos and then giving it to them!!!

we need more feasting on film!! favourite videos on youtube! film and food! thats what i call love!!! keep it up man and thank u!

I love seeing Willem Verbeeck selling seafood 1:35

Hey Ribsy. It is all fun. You had a great day. That's what counts!

I am so jealous!!!I pre-ordered it ages ago, but have yet to get mine!!! I used to use my Graphic with Polaroid 4x5 and use it like a point and shoot!!!

I'm waiting on the delivery of my unit for my Shen-Hao. This made me very excited and anxious! It was nice to learn from your process and maybe save some exposures from mistakes I'd make.

Great to see the graflex having a run. Remember though its a press camera, it is meant to be used hand held, run and gun - swapping film holders and popping flash bulbs red hot straight into your hand. Photogs were made of sterner stuff back in the day 😎

thxs for the review can’t wait to get mine

The explanation gets me every time 😂. I went to the sister Islans last weekend with my DIY Instax back for the RB and people were confused until they got the photo in hand lol. Also I think there is some light leak on the edges. I had a similar issue when I built my own.

Awesome video and pics. Expensive seafood is worth it imo. I never cheap out on seafood, I did once and I spent most of the next day on the toilet lol

6:22 that church lady’s ears must’ve been burning with that “hell yeah” 🤣🤣🤣 dope vid as usual 😄👍🏾

hhaha you have me dying still, "ill punch a seagull in the face" 😂💀 Good fun man.

Love this! I just got a Mint Camera SF70. Mint’s own version of the SX70 but it uses the Instax square format

I am so happy I found you

Notification set 😁

I watch each of your videos end to end as they are of great quality and content. It wont be long before you reach 1mm.

Looks like a great day out! I have not shot any instax in my 4x5 yet. And, honestly, I am not sure I will. I *want* to like Instax but so far, it just doesn't grab me. The BW version is better but I have not yet been happy with any of my color shots made with it. Your portrait of the woman is really good the other shots you shared with us are fine but let down by the Instax film, I think. I started using 4x5 as a way to help me become more deliberate in my photography and the photos I choose to make. The slowing down required to use my camera has helped with that. In fact, my first--and only so far--4x5 camera was made just a few blocks from where you were for this video: I bought an Intrepid 4x5 camera made. I hope you had some time to go see those guys. Great fun to watch and thank you for sharing this!

damn I love octopus. She was definitely a subject worth getting a right exposure for. That tuna sushi looked good as well 🤤 whaat the crab wasn't good?

Is the rangefinder not adjusted? I have a 4x5 press camera similar to yours and it's got a kalart coupled range finder. Not sure mines adjusted either it's something I've been meaning to check. Not sure it'd make much difference with how the film back you are using moves the film plane back like you mentioned.

Oh～ ！ Mr.Ribsy 📷️ You ato sushi rolls（＝巻き寿司）！！

Man you’re making me want up try 4x5 😩

I’m from France and I used to live right on the other side of the Channel (Dieppe) I lived in Brighton during a few months. I went there so many times. I love this city so much. I know it way better than where I’m living. Never heard about this big japanese community, but it was a long time ago so… don’t know…

I use the Graflex 4x5 with a 120 film 6x17 adaptor for Panoramic photography

Brighton is pretty cool 😎 also super accessible by train

Revisiting this video. What is the tripod you used here.

It is interesting that lomography is making these back available to a lot of youtube presenter but can't seem to get them to the people that have already preordered them. First they wrote it was definitely going to be April 2021 for the early group, then it was going to be, for sure, August 2021. Of course, they didn't meet either of those. Now it appears that people who ordered in China will get theirs ahead of people who ordered in the USA. Now they are taking about late November/December 2021 before the USA pre-orders will be serviced. I'm willing to make a bet that they will miss that date also. Yet, in spite of not being able to meet deadlines they keep sending units to be reviewed. These reviews are a bit frustrating as one can see potential but one has no one of getting to it as the vendor keeps missing delivery dates. Maybe they should have been made in VietNam or India rather than China. Shame as the idea is super.

Made me hungry

That outro was fabulous. "I'll punch a fucking seagull right in the face!" Food must be good.

I’d go absolutely insane trying to get a decent instant photo like that! Super excited that Lomography is doing things like this! And yes, seagulls are total assholes!!!

Would have been better if you gave them the sharpie so they could write something and keep the photo.

very cool video, but why are u protecting the shots from uv light? that's only a problem when shooting polaroid film not with instax.

Expose for the highlights?

Fk!!!!! You already know I'm jealous!!!! :-/

I never received my Lomo Graflok back

I am going to be ordering one of these LOMO instax backs for my 4x5. Any metering tips would be much appreciated. I have never shot with Instax film before. I have a Pentax and Gossen spot meters.

i've shot oodles of instax wide and have never kept it in the dark while it developed; it has always developed without issue. seems like an unnecessary step with no discernible gain.

By now you know instax has very little dynamic range. Shoot with the sun on your back, the film just can't deal with the bright areas.
