Welcome back, good to see some more content and if you ever want company whilst up in the Oxford area, always more than happy to meet for a coffee with the camera. Whilst I've plenty of film cameras in all medium, and I'm actaully waiting for the wind to drop so I can venture out with my 4x5, I too put may name down for the X100VI and I'm still waiting! It appears the black only model looks to be in more demand, as I've seen far more Black and Silver models in the UK... Andy, couple of questions - was that the Nisi lens hood? and another random question, what size Shimoda Action X bag do you use to fit all your 4x5 stuff in? Toying with getting the 70 as I also want to transport the 6x17 back.
Good to see you back and doing well. Anyone speaking their mind and doing film photography is inspiring in my eyes. Please keep up the great content and especially the film photography. Cheers!
Keep these videos rolling, even if you dont feel you have anything to show. This is your way of dea!ing with your sorrows. Good to have you back. Not too sure aboutthe Funi though. Just kidding.
I have had similar shutter "issues" with both the X100T and X100F cameras I have owned in the past. I typically shoot with the LCD screen off and use just the optical viewfinder and once in a while do not know if I took the shoot of not after pressing the shutter button. I sold both and got a Leica M8 with a shutter that sounds like a car door slamming so easy to know if I got the shot LOL. Later went with an M9 which was much quieter but still no doubt whether you took a shot or not.
Know how you feel, my fiancé has been in Shanghai since November of 2021 not being able to make it back here because of Covid. Finally got to see her for two weeks last fall and she is finally going to be able to come back here this summer for awhile. I have 5 film backs loaded with ektar I haven’t shot yet and to try and get me back into photography I have decided to make my own 6x17 and 4x5 cameras.
@buck-xf8sf really sad to hear that, it must be horrible being away from the one you love for so long, bet you are counting down the days to summer ❤️ That sounds an amazing project, keep me up to date on how you get one 👍
Most of us can relate with our own version of your loss. Time and patience as others have said. But If you have a partner now; speak to her about everything. You'll find there is no darkness that the light of love cannot reach into. Talking to another person who is not yourself is key. Bring all the dark thoughts (especially the ones you think you cant possibly talk about because they are so weird, violent, stupid, whatever, (this is where a professional counselor is good because they provide a safe place for you to talk and you can't say anything they haven't heard before) etc etc) into the light and they dissipate
Glad you are feeling better and glad to see you are back as I always enjoy your videos and pictures. Wishing you nothing but the best.

Another film channel bites the dust. Not interested in yet another digital channel.
Funny you say that as I’m just editing my next video which is 4x5, which will always be my favourite format to shot 👍
