may i ask what is the lens you used with your 6x17?

It is also a good idea to use a lens shade. Large-format lenses are usually constructed with large image circles to allow for movements. On the flipside that means that the sun can shine straight into your camera even if it is out of frame. And the best way to avoid light bouncing around inside your camera is to not let it get there in the first place. Nice camera by the way!

I use a next level technique called cropping.

I would love a video on the view finder, Im also not a fan of the bubble levels

I'm building the V8 version. Did you print the lens board?

I designed a similar viewfinder, the design specifications are as follows: Front Element is plano-concave lens - diameter 50mm, focal length minus 100 Rear Element is plano convex lens - diameter 25mm, focal length 125 Distance between lens elements 25mm, yields a magnification of 0.8. You want to design a simple housing to hold the two elements 25mm apart, and that allows a retaining rim to be screwed onto the front element, behind which lens masks may be fitted to approximate the view with the various lens options. Of course, you need a cone for each lens option as well. Mask sizes for the above lens combination are as follows: A 75mm lens mask to cover the front element needs to be 50mm diameter with a 45.3mm wide by 16mm high aperture. A 90mm lens mask to cover the front element needs to be 50mm diameter with a 37.7mm wide x 13.3 mm high aperture. A 105mm lens mask to cover the front element needs to be 50mm diameter with a 32.4mm wide x 11.4mm high aperture. A 150mm lens mask to cover the front element needs to be 50mm diameter with a 22.7mm wide x 8mm high aperture. A 210mm lens mask to cover the front element needs to be 50mm diameter with a 16.2mm wide x 5.7mm high aperture. NOTE: A 50mm front element size will be able to accommodate masks for lenses down to 72mm focal lengths. If you want to cover 65mm focal length you’d need a 55mm diameter lens with minus 100 focal length.

Hi there I have built 3 panoramic cameras two 6X12 and one 6X17 I use flocked paper in black, inside the cameras to stop reflections and it seems to work fine it has a sticky back. What I do is make a template then cut the flocked paper and then stick it into the inside of the camera. The paper was purchased from Amazon and is quiet inexpensive. As another member said the light leak is in the bottom of the camera probably in the back, another trick i use is putting wool (what is used for knitting) around the inside of the back where it would seal with the body the wool comes in different thicknesses I use the thick kind because it will compress when the back is attached hope this has been of some help Kevin

I saw a 3d printed 6x17 with a removable back and a ground glass back. Costs $550 usd.

Did you actually shoot the Aurora on film? and if yes, what film and lens did you use and how long did you expose for. I'm really interested to know because I'm going to Tromso soon and am planning to do it on film but it seems like it's really hard with long exposures

I can't find the part that rolls the film on the right side of the camera. Is it missing from the model?

*What's the latest firmware and where can it be downloaded?* I think the one that came with my unit has a bug. It won't turn off the Safelight when exposing the paper.

You will get there I am sure of it, just remember that the leak in the first frame was from the bottom of your camera setup...

Keep up the good work. Really enjoying your series. I hope a lens hood does help.

Another question... did the viewfinder you designed work? If so, can you share the stl?

Can you show what connector type /cable you used to connect the intrepid to the computer? It’s not a USB-C, not sure what the connector type is. Thank you!

You didn't show any images. That's considered a felony in the RUclips photography channel world. :)

Please make tutorial on focusing camera and film loading

2:37 could someone please point me a link where i can get it ?

How do you focus?

Pity we didn't get to have a good look at the finished product. It's not a good idea to shoot against a large window backlight without pushing some forward light in. I just hope you don't do that when shooting with your new camera.

Thank you for your video. I’m in the process of printing the camera. What size heat inserts and screws did you use to assemble it? I have been unable to find this listed anywhere. Thanks for any info?

I really like the B look, greenish yellow looks really good

Gut möglich, dass es sich bei den überbelichteten Bereichen um Reflexionen im inneren des Conus und deiner Kamera handelt. Ich habe meine Conen immer mit schwarz matter Schultafelfarbe bestrichen und danach weniger Probleme mehr mit starkem Streulicht von Lichtquellen relativ senkrecht über der Linse gehabt. Grüße Seb

I noticed quite a few light leaks in your images. What do you attribute it to? How to mitigate? I just purchased a 6x17 from Chroma camera. Looking forward to using it as I am a big fan of the panoramic format.

Looks nice!! Congratilations!!

Thanks, could you pls make a video about the V35 ? Thx

Great vid, thanks for sharing. Mountains of Switz are beautiful. Does your view finder have a light meter? it looks like you use a seperate light meter?

Cover the film counter window with a small piece of transparent dark red plastic :)

Stunning video here! We really appreciate your feedback! :) We are eager to answer any questions down in the comments!

I've got the super angulon lens! For my 2 5x4 cameras! That's a start!

Found your channel today, and definitely subscribing. The first thing that struck me is the film loading is reminiscent of some Leicas. I can see that design makes it susceptible to light leak along the bottom of film (top of image). I hope that it’s easy enough to effectively seal that - I’ve never worked with 3d printed material but I hope that there’s a suitable bonding agent, and the tolerances of the body allow an easy seal - rather than having to resort to electrician’s tape each roll…. I’d be really interested to hear your opinion on how well you can calibrate the lens/helicoid/film plane to “infinity”, but regardless of my preconceived ideas of what I want, I’m looking forward to enjoying your adventures. Best wishes from Australia

thanks, I wondered how the lens, cone and helicoid focus went together, and if you could fit any lens, this is what Alavandi cameras use for their camera lenses, good to know how to install a lens.

i'm curious how you scan film negatives that large? i imagine a flatbet scanner would cause some halation because of the way it's illuminated...

Beautiful shot of her on the rock and water droplets in foreground. Cant wait to get my Nikonos V!

Imagine these photos printed on a biiiiiig canvas and illuminated from the back...😍

Thanks a lot. For me great new info.

Respekt, Simon! Sieht mega aus! Ich bik wirklich gespannt, was aus dem guten Stück rauskommen wird.

I watched this video twice and I have not seen a Thermometer ! HP5+ & Rodinal = GRAIN and HIGH CONTRAST. What reason did you shoot at 800 asa ?

Sehr Sehr Schön! Die ECN ART Bilder fand ich trotzdem nice!

Love it! <3

Erstmal alles liken und kommentieren!

Those northern lights shots were 🔥🔥🔥

This was really nice! A chill trip to London with some great images!

Such beautiful images, well done!

Richtig gut! Dein bestes Video bis jetzt 👍💌

The wintery scenes and northern lights in Tromsø looks gorgeous! You did a superb job of documenting such a memorable trip.

Wow, that was an awesome video with incredible pictures!

Cinestill when expired has those problems. And the film has to be developed as soon as you after post exposure. There seems to be some degradation going on in the emulsion. My opinion, for the price of cinestill, Portra seems to be the reliable and best choice. Your images with Portra have a pleasing tone and quality about them. No wonder some only use Portra 160 and 400 when travelling. Wonderful video and images. May I ask what lens you used ?

What a beautiful place and great photos!

Duuude who‘s that guy with that fresh cut? 😅 Love the pics of course. Insane af 🤯
