I had a great day shooting yesterday. My new cambo 6x9 roll film back arrived to use with my 4x5 Intrepid camera :) ..My plan is to use colour roll film and 4x5 B&W sheet film as colour 4x5 sheet film is crazy expensive.
I persuaded model Shane to meet me in Birmingham and I took along my 4x5 camera and new 6x9 back (plus other backs and cameras),
Portrait shot with Kodak Ektar in direct light... loving the soft colour palette :)

Super Happy! :) Can wait to use the 6x9 back for my usual shoots now.. and I might have to shoot more Ektar from these results / skin tones. Pleased.

I took this shot on Saturday to finish my roll of film after my model shoot in Digbeth. The afternoon sun came out and lit up the artwork just as I was composing the shot. If you follow me you'll know i'm not usually a building person but something about big 4x5 cameras, I just wanted to shoot detailed scenes as much as simple portraits.
I had the tripod fully extended so it was a bit hard to focus on tip toes but it came out OK. (I was trying to clear the parked cars and get a clear shot of the artwork).

Loving shooting colour roll film in the 6x9 film back..

I am more behind than normal with film developing and scanning as I am doing a lot of training again ahead of various triathlon events. It's not a chore, I really love the cycling (my joint #1 obsession that comes out with the sunshine!) but it means I don't always get chance to edit / post etc.
This photo was me testing a new lens I bought for my 4x5 Intrepid camera. The well regarded Schneider APO-Symmar 120mm f/5.6. A tiny lens considering the size of the film format! (see a photo I shared on my Instagram a few weeks+ ago)(similar size to a Leica lens)

I will post a full review on this camera and lens when I get chance + more test examples

I have a cherry tree in the garden so had the 4x5 camera on top of a fully extended tripod and me on a step! The wind made it quite tough for a slow shutter so I tried to keep it at 1/60 or 1/125, f5.6 I think,

Another photo of me testing the new lens I bought for my 4x5 Intrepid camera earlier this year. The well regarded Schneider APO-Symmar 120mm f/5.6. A tiny lens considering the size of the film format!
I'm dying to use this camera again (and have been for ages to the extent i'm digging out these old test photos to share
I love how 4x5 cameras can be shallow focus even with a f5.6 lens. Focused top right on the bike tyre (a free tyre I picked up at an aid station during Ironman Vichy, France in 2017 after a blow out)(it saved me and let me finish, thanks aid station).

Review still to share but I want to shoot more with it first
