Watching this in 2024 in Berlin and this helped my get going with beaten up Bronica SQ - thanks for taking the time to make the video!

Thanks

Nice. Just ordered an old SQ, so refreshing my knowledge after not shooting film for 15 or more years! Good to hear a familiar accent too 🙂

Setting the iso on the camera back doesn’t do anything unless you’re using a prism finder which will use that information to expose.

I´m about to start in 4x5, really thank you for this clear instruction on how to open the pack and load the film hodlers. Super clear and useful!

I have a Durst C35 enlarger and a Jessops timer. The enlarger stays on when the timer is off. I also have a Durst M 301 enlarger, and the problem does not exist. Can you help?

Hi, is the viviter made of metal? Is it heavy?

P30 is at 5:12

My film wind lever won’t move as far as yours, I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong

Very informative video. I find with large format, you have to be methodical, from film loading, using the camera to unloading film. If, like me, you keep film in the fridge, let it come up to room temperature before loading, otherwise the condensation makes it stick to your fingers and the film holders.

one tip, the arrow lineup step is VERY important, unlike some, say the Mamiya press 6x9 cm cameras, they red-window advance the film (manual looking at the numbering on the backing paper & advancing manually), This camera (bronica's, Hasselblads, Rollieflex/rolliecords) does the 'blank paper' advance by 'arming' the counter when the insert is inserted into the shell, then the S---1 distance is mechanically measured out (degrees of turning of the winding system); then a 'STOP' is reached, fire the first shot, then the mechanics determine spacing ( allows for diamater of film on spool - advance rate is adjusted automatically); and if the back is in a servicable condition, all works perfectly. HOWEVER quirks exist for cameras, so Read the manual and follow religeously the steps they say, and for electronic film backs (Rollei's, Hasselblad H system, Contax 645) Beware the battery condition, CHECK it, and replace Before loading, as if these die, the advance position is LOST, and the roll is wasted (position is via encoders, and electic counters).

good light meter tutorial, PS the EV mode is good for another modular camera system, the Hasselblad 500 (V-series), their lenses have an EV scale on the bottom of the lens, to shoot this way, you take the EV reading , and set the shutter & apature rings to correspond a red arrow on one, to the EV reading on the other, and for early (C) lenses that's it, just move one, and they are both LOCKED together! {CF/CFI/CFE lenses NEED you to lock the dials together manually, by depressing a button on the apature ring}; then you can't mess up, you choose an apature, the EV step sets exposure for you, like the P/S mode on dslr's, just done mechanically!

Nicely done, just purchased a Bronica SQAi and your video is excellent!

right mate any clue about parts in the uk for the dursts m605

Good job. Clear explanation

Thanks for the excellent refresher on how to load up the film. I used to shoot 35mm before digital, but I have only dabbled in medium format over the years.

Amazing musical choices there, well done 👍

It's been an absolute pleasure to study the HND for the past two years - thanks for all your help Chris! Amazing photos by all

Inherent my dad's film cameras thank you for all the help can't wait to take some photos

Thank you for this. I'm a complete beginner and playing with a P30. Going to take out my first roll today and now I know how! :)

Gave you like cause nobody could explain it better. Thanks

Hello ,the enlarger what size multigrade filter?thanks

Great instructional video. I received a Bronica SQ-A for Christmas and felt I was over my head. After watching your video I went out and shot a roll of film. Thank you so much! I am now a confident hybrid photographer!

THANKS! Couldn’t unload bc I didn’t know about the button

Great in detph video mate!

is this model only for 35 mm negatives, or can, if you desire use 120 roll film or 4x5"/5x7" sheet film in this ( with a different negative carrier)?

Does the counter automatically reset to zero?

I have a P30 and my back door for the film is stuck. Do you have a trick to get it open?

Fantastic tutorial. Thanks!

very clear thanks

Thanks Christopher !

Thank you for posting this. I found the camera in the thrift store a few years back and I have never used it. I was looking for another camera and a P3n fell into my hand. "Where did this Pentax come from? I've never seen this before!" I thought. I just finished putting two LR44 batteries in it and a roll of 100 ISO slide film. I can't wait for some sunny 16!

Thank you for this video. It really helped me with the P30.

Perfect video! Does that grip/winder have a hot shoe, or a cold shoe?

Thanks for the upload!

Which model is this?

Thanks for sharing! This really helped me.

how do you aim with this camera. do you focus on the circle in the middle or just look at the general sqaure image if its in focus

✍️

Thanks for making this. It's surprising how many people don't realise what the notch codes are for, so hopefully this will help them too. Great choice in black and white film too:) #ilfordhp5

Thank you 👌🏻👌🏻

Thanks Chris found this really useful

Brilliant. These are the kind of photos i wanna take...

Hi iam in my first year of this art and design course and I was wondering does the year 1 FMP count towards any of your overall grade for UCAS point or is it all mainly focused around the FMP in year 2?
