For anyone asking all of our cameras will feature the same updates (4x5, 5x7 & 8x10)! And all cameras recently ordered or orders placed from now have automatically been upgraded.
Robbie's channel was the reason I purchased my Intrepid setup a year and a half ago and I'm so psyched that you are both working together for this video! Great work.
Will there also be a black 5x7 version?
Is February 2021 recent enough? 😅😅
Thank god, I just ordered like 5 days ago and had a "nooooooo" moment when I saw this thumbnail
I just got my Black Edition 4x5 and have the new features Robbie mentioned although I did have to pay for the Fresnel screen. Appreciate you adding the newest features to my camera!
Great video Robbie and love the shots!
I have been thinking about trying 4x5. This video goes a long way toward pushing me forward. Thanks for it!
Just started into LF...and got my Mk5 a month ago ... along with a 90mm, 150mm and a 210mm - love learning this newest format
Do you mean Mk4? What 90mm did you end up getting?
@@RobbieMaynardCreates Mine is the 4x5 Black Edition not the Mk5...I realized that after watching your video, mine does have the markings on the lens plate and the better lens board holder...but I did have to pay extra for the Fresnel screen. Seems like a got some of the goodies as I ordered mine just as they are releasing the Mk5. My 90 is a Nikkor SW 4.5f I was able to order it from Victory Camera is Boulder CO.
Great review, Robbie! Thanks for sharing your bell experience with the new Intrepid 4x5 mk5! I can see one in my future! 👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽📷
Thanks buddy! You will love it :)
I like to follow your channel a lot Robbie. Thx for being natural and sharing your way to photography.
I appreciate that!
When I buy my Intrepid camera, that would be totally because of this channel!
Nice video Robbie!
(also, "s" is silent in Fresnel)
hahaha I had one of my buddies DM saying that I say it like a New Englander.
Another great video. Intrepid now have a folding focusing hood that makes focusing/viewing even easier. I’ve always found they have a really good aftercare service and have replaced parts for me without any questions.
Man, these videos make me miss living somewhere with seasons. The evening shot in the river was incredible and reminds me of where I grew up in SW PA. I don't know if I have the patience to ever get into larger formats but it definitely looks like a rewarding experience.
I appreciate the comment. There's something about summer evenings on the river.
Great review man. Can't wait to see what you create with it 👍
Thank you buddy!
Well I just ordered mine! Thanks in part to how heavy my cambo sc is and also in part to your videos with this one certainly helping. Thanks man! Can’t wait! Hope the lead time isn’t too bad at the moment 🤞
Whatever it is, its going to be worth it!
@@RobbieMaynardCreates it looks like it’s going to be here today! So excited!
The new front tilt "click" is a huge improvement. I guess there's no option to upgrade older cameras with that..?
Im sure you could rig something up yourself but no sense in potentially ruining an old camera lol
Wow ! Nice camera. Great test images, too. Sure beats that messed up bellows . KB
haha you're not the only one who hated my last bellows
Bob, when you say 'grassy knoll' I flinch... 🤫but seriously, great picture.
goddamn Lee Harvey had to ruin it for everyone lol
Looks nice! I have been using linhof but pretty heavy…
It will be interesting to see what the follow through to the 8x10 version will be. Will it be offered in black? Will it include a fresnel as standard equipment, etc. I'd really like to get sn 8x10 that is lighter than my Eastman View 8x10 and Calumet pre-C1 to take out hiking for a forest and nature body of work so if they include all these upgrades from the 4x5 in the 8x10 as well, they may have a sale.
They seem to listen closely to their customers so Im sure they will be hooking you folks up!
I need to start saving up.
It'll be worth it!
Awesome as always!! The Photo at 8:45 is this Ektar?
Those improvements are super tempting. It’s hard lugging around my cambo monorail so I’ve kept an eye out for a field or lighter monorail camera. That said, are you selling your mk4?
The MK5 is super lightweight and easy to set up which I love. As for my MK4, I will probably end up giving it away. As long as the next owner likes the ruggedly handsome look LOL
@@RobbieMaynardCreates ooh I’ll be lookin out for that!
@@RobbieMaynardCreates Set up a home darkroom and print your black and white with it with Intrepid's enlarger back. 🙂
Small but significant improvements, but I do like a bit of wood in a field camera. I wonder if they'd improve the 5x7 version? Thank you.
We are upgraded all of our cameras including the wood 4x5 :)
@@IntrepidCameraCo Nice to know. Now that I have found some 5X7 holders, I can start saving for the 5X7. Thank you.
What about the back standard? Does it have a 90 degree stop? :)
I have a quick question about how long it takes for shipping and how much it cost. Thx a lot!
The Intrepid Camera website does not have any reference to the Mk V 4x5 camera. It looks like they are still selling Mk IV.
Great video, Robbie... Are you selling the Mk4?
I was thinking about giving it away actually. Its been through a lot so the next owner will have to be a little more gentle with it lol
Whoa, where did the massive color shift at about 11:13 come from? I suppose that was Ektar? :)
I took that about an hour after I took the b-roll for it. It just started taking too long waiting for the right moment. I definitely over-exposed it in blue hour.
FINE TUNING :
Why do you mount the lens board upside down?
This camera needs cold shoes on front and rear standards.
Which bellows is needed for a headshot at 1,25 meter with
a 360 mm lens on the 4 x5 Intrepid?
Can 65 mm and 75 mm wide angle lenses fit on the 4 x 5?
A filter protects the front element of the lens against salt water.
Sun hood and compendium can rise the contrast of the film.
A black cloth gives a much better view of the screen.
Mind the illumination of this black camera in this video;
your face is not important to see.
A comment so important that you had to email it to me too. I appreciate how thorough you are. However, I am not.
I have to say that I'm not happy with my 2 year old wooden Intrepid 4x5 Mk IV, lots of issues that came up. Like light seeping in all over the place (I still have light leaks I can't find, I now have a suspicion that the rotating back is the issue, already seen some definite light leaks in a certain rotation of the back, but there have to be more); granted, my application is kinda special (4x5 pinhole, sometimes with IR72 filter) and I have extreme exposure times, even in bright sunlight, but even after fixing most of the issues, or I thought to have fixed them, I still have specific streaks that I for months thought were due to development errors (I'm now sure they aren't, as I systematically changed development procedures and tanks to fix them). Then issues with locking the back standard into place, when the extremely stiff bellows push on its top with wide-angle shots and rise making the top move backwards, sometimes over the course of the long exposure times (or even the dark cloth I need to use due to the light leaks does it sometimes). Unprecise bubble levels, rendering them nearly useless. The only upside was the price, I can't afford something like a Chamonix (I would love to buy one, its "universal" bellows alone would save me lots of trouble). Oh, the weight is also a definite plus for the Intrepid. Did I mention that I hate the rotating back? I would prefer the removable backs of the 5x7 and 8x10 models (but film prices per shot are hard to fathom with 4x5, and I wouldn't be able to carry the additional weight involved). Still, I might buy a black edition (mostly 3D printed parts) of the Mk V in hope that I can at least have the bag bellows, and some better precision than the wood model had.
Sorry to hear all the issues you had. Maybe its an issue with the film holder? I bought a few older holders a few years back and I thought I had a similar issue but I found that it was the film holder. Tossed them out and bought new-old stock Fidelity's and haven't had any issues.
@@RobbieMaynardCreates All brand new Toyo holders, and also two new Chamonix ones. I thought about it, but tests showed that part of the problem was that the wood where the holder sits wasn't blackened (I used a thick permanent marker to change that, and it helped a lot - should be not so much of a problem with the black edition). Doing pinhole photography is special, because there's so few light through the hole (for example f/300 compared to f/16 with a lens) that every tiniest bit of stray light makes a difference. Still not sure where the last streaks originate from, but it is very annoying (maybe inner reflections due to the extreme image circle of a pinhole).
Exciting news. Thank you for the video! Can I just check the Mk V has no shift and only has front and rear tilt?
Im not sure if I understand but you can put a substantial amount of shift on the front standard
Tilt, swing, shift and rise/fall on the front standard
Thank you both Robbie Maynard Creates and Intrepid Camera. 👍🏻
omg i love my blooper
:)
using a loupe or nay?
Can I turn in a MkIV for a MKV
What is a good budget beginner lense for this camera?
I've gone through a decent amount of lens for 4x5 and my latest purchase of the Fuji 135mm f5.6 is probably my favorite all around lens
Bro... what's the song in the intro?
oh bob, you got blackstone on your blouse
haha its still on my blouse
Great video good Sir, as always. I am still waiting on IG for your address to send you that 120 roll of expired Portra 160 VC. :)
haha oh man. I am so bad at following up. I just get lost in work. Ill try to hit you up this week buddy
😁👍☕(slurp!)
enjoy that coffee bud!
I've been telling my wife how much that love my MK4.............now how do I convince her that I really really need a MKV.
haha tell her you can right it off come tax season
Best way? Just ask for forgiveness 🙂
Tell her you want to use the Mark IV with the Intrepid 4x5 enlarging back as a dedicated enlarger, so you need the Mark V to take photos with.... 🙂
weeeeoooooooooooooooooooo
*in excited voice*
I don’t need it, I don’t need it, I don’t need it….I NEED IT.
Fresnel is pronounced "Fruh-NEL"
Are you sure? I think its spelled Freshhhnel
A Fresnel (pronounced fray-NEL) lens replaces the curved surface of a conventional optical lens with a series of concentric grooves. These contours act as individual refracting surfaces, bending parallel light rays to a common focal length@@RobbieMaynardCreates
Super Lame. I ordered a mk4 4x5 last month and now this new one came out? Way to stick it to your customers.
This is the last straw. I’m putting it on eBay and buying a Sinar. Intrepid is just terrible anyway. I tried to like it but this just rubs me the wrong way. They put out shitty cameras and then Make upgrades weeks later without mentioning anything on their website. Trying to sell all their old stock.
Quit lying about this camera. It’s trash compared to the other brands from the 90s.
Oh man, wait til you hear what Sony has been doing. They just keep coming out with new models of cameras every year! LOL
I am not impressed at all with Intrepid. I placed 3 different orders in the past and all of them went wrong. The communication from their side was very poor. I won’t touch them ever again. I know is nice when they send you free cameras
I'm sorry you had trouble in the past but its important to forgive my friend.
Same. I’m done with them.
@@RobbieMaynardCreates When a company gets it wrong 3 times, why would I use them again? We live in a world where there are plenty of other choices
I know they had issues a few years ago, but they have really worked on improving that and they're service is now FIRST CLASS. All of my emails were answered promptly and they replaced a defective enlarger unit no problem and even paid for the shipping both ways.
@@EdwardMartinsPhotography oh, the emails are fast and nice. When a lock breaks after 1,5 years of use, however, you have to pay both the repair and the shipping. So much for great first class service...
