- Had a free afternoon so headed out with 2 of my large format pinhole cameras, The ONDU 4x5 and the Zero Image 4x5, had some film holders loaded with Fomapan 100.
The walk started at High and Over near Alfriston, headed down and along the river Cuckmere.
Along the way I captured a long exposure image of a nice tree with my ONDU 1:45
Then headed along the river where I came across a nice lump of reeds in the river, which seemed to work well on my Zero Image 4:35
The erosion on the edge of the river caught my eye with the light on it as it snaked around the corner, so a portrait shot with the ONDU 6:50
After a bit further I crossed an old bridge 9:00 and a captured and image with the Zero Image.
For my last photo after heading up the big hill, I decided to place the camera on a dial which showed different distances from that location, unfortunately the camera blew over towards the end, but the shot came out ok 12:10
All images will be uploaded to my social channels, links below.

A small commission is sent my way, at NO extracts to you,
Great photos!! My favorite is the vertical image of the river.
Thank you Garon 👍
Nice video as usual Will, and what a zen music in background!😊
Thank you, thought it may add something chill to the video 😁
Another great video and well done on braving those killer sheep.
Thank you, they will get me one day 😉😆
lovely! :)
it's nice to see your world through a pinhole camera! :)
Thank you Sina, glad you like it 😁
Nice video! Enjoyed all of the images, particularly the bridge and the direction thingy. You have inspired me to get out this morning with my homemade 4x5 pinhole camera and shoot something, before it gets too hot.
Thank you Philip, glad it inspired you to get out 🙂
Love the bridge shot and the last one when the camera tipped over! Such a beautiful area :)
Thank you, it is a beautiful location.
I was surprised how well that last one turned out 😁
All the images were pleasing. My favourite images were the old bridge and the clump of grass/reeds on the edge of the river.
Thank you, glad you like them Saalik 🙂
You've sold me on the Ondu. My next purchase after I get back from my Edinburgh trip.
you won't regret it :)
Wonderful video Will, thank you for sharing. While both cameras each have they're own advantages, it you could only use one 4x5 pinhole camera, which one would you use?
Oooh, tough decision.
The ondu if I was more in the city as this is where the rise feature would benefit best, the Zero image is more flexible with the different focal lengths, so find I use this more out and about beaches etc
Great to see you out with the 4x5 again. I was wondering if the camera would stay still for that shot off the tripod. I wonder if you could set the tripod up in a way that it had 2 legs for stability and one leg pushing down on the camera to keep it in place.
thank you, yes it probably would work, I actually had a Z plate in my bag which would have supported it nicely flat, but forgot about it at the time 🙄😁
Great photos as usual and wonderful sense of humour! If you were going to Rome, what pinhole camera would you take - Zero Image 6x6 or Ondu 6x6?
Thank you very much, both the Ondu and Zero image are fantastic cameras, I think the quality of the image will be on par with each other, maybe one benefit with the zero is the ability to use a cable release (if you buy that model). The Ondu I think is better looking, but that's a personal choice 🙂
@@WillGudgeon Thanks so much for your advice:) I was leaning towards the Zero Image one, but this gives me a bit more food for thought!😊
@nich6220 I've owned my zero image for more than 10 years, awesome camera 😁
@@WillGudgeon I bought my Zero Image 4x5 because of your videos!! Love this camera but now you've inspire me to try a 6x6!!
@nich6220 6x6 is a lovely format, especially on a trip where 4x5 is not practical. Tough choice between the Ondu and zero though 😁
Did I spot there a timelapse on an eggtimer (or the likes)?
Yes, its my GoPro on a TurnsPro, a posh egg timer 😆, unfortunately was a bit windy and making it wobble a bit, and most the clouds had disappeared
@@WillGudgeon Ohh cool, got one of those too; it's very versatile :-)
@@pixelpeter3883 I do enjoy using it, hopefully going to be using it more, I do enjoy making timelapses but don't always stop long enough while I am out to make one 😁
@@WillGudgeon When there is little wind you'll need plenty of time to get a half decent timelapse. More wind, faster moving clouds and shorter intervals will make it easier when you're on the go :-)
I usually go out with the following 4x5 inch pinhole cameras:
Pinhole Distance Pinhole Size Angle-of-View f/stop 35mm equiv.
120mm .4mm 56 f/256 34mm
73mm .3mm 82 f/256 21mm
50mm .3mm 100 f/256 15mm
How do the specifications for your pinhole cameras compare?
Hi sorry for the delay, having a catch up now.
My Zero Image 4x5 is
25mm - 0.18mm - f/138 - Angle of View 148.35°
50mm - 0.28mm - f/176 - Angle of View 120.99°
75mm - 0.35mm - f/2.6.5 - Angle of View 99.35°
The ONDU is
58mm - 0.3mm - f/193 - Angle of View of 106°

Thanks for the useful information. After adjusting my horizontal angle-of-view to match your diagonal angle-of-view, I was pleased that the specifications for my 4x5 inch do-it-yourself pinhole cameras were very similar to your name-brand cameras.
