Thank you! Loved the portraits. This is one of my favorite channels. I own a Linhof, a 6x7 and a Hasselblad, so you’re always doing stuff I find relevant. Thanks a lot.
@@Distphoto yes, great video, but one piece of advise, for the loading at the start of the video, Put that it is timelapsed, YOU NEVER want to load this delicate tool that fast!, you will break or scratch something!
Great content. lovely images and tack sharp. Question. Because you had the end result in mind~ with prints, is that why you went high Key lighting? High key suites with better? Many thanks, Harry.
Yes, I wanted the background to be pretty blocked up (without flare and spill on them) to allow for more skin and shadow tone adjustments easier in printing) TMAX 400 will do this pretty well with minimal grain
Super thanks for sharing this video, super useful (as all yours). I would like to connect the lens to the radio flash trigger as you do (i.e. 1:57 setup), could you please help me to identify the right cable? Thanks a lot in advance and sorry for the stupid question.
Of course... these are the ones I use depending on the trigger connection: Sync Cables (2.5mm) - amzn.to/3A2pbJC Sync Cables (3.5mm) - amzn.to/3ohk8SV Sync Cable (Long) - amzn.to/3zXc6l1 Hope that helps!
Yes, I do give compensation, There is an online chart I will go to as a reference if in question, but otherwise keep it roughly the same for the different tubes and have found that adequate.
These are wonderful portraits. Honestly, I now want to stick the 16MM extension tube on my Hasselblad 500CM with the 120MM and 160MM CB lenses and experiment with some portraiture. The look and sharpness of those classic Hasselblad lenses, well I just love that. Although it's not my favorite film, I've used T-Max 400 for some portraits in the past and the results were good but not any where as nice as your photos. Right now I'm using Ilford Delta 400 along with Tri-X for all my work but with the stunning results you got with T-Max 400 maybe I'll try it again soon.
Really the only thing that got me was I wanted finer grain for the high key portraits. Overall I think I am still in the HP5 camp meant to shoot some at the same time but got caught up in shooting and never did. If either of those is getting good results for you I see no need to switch.
Thank you, Matt. Great pictures as always!!! 👏👏👏 You say you use 10 minutes to develop the film so, I would like to know what ISO are you using and what dilution for the developer. Once again, thank you from Venezuela!!!
Thank you! I have been shooting this at 400 (no testing other than printing/scanning but it looks good so far) For my initial test roll it was a nice sunny day not supper contrasty just nice and pleasant. I developed that in Xtol 1:1 21 degrees C for 10 minutes. agitation was 28 inversions for 1st minute then 4 inversions / 10 seconds every minute. These negs looked great had great contrast, shadow detail and retained highlight seperation well. The High key studio ones in this video were still at box speed (400) everything else the same just extended to 12 minutes total development time.
@@FrancoCanepa Here are the one I use... amzn.to/3DR8BhK Except mine are for Canon. This has no bearing on how they work in this sense They are just manual triggers Very reliable ones.
It is quickly becoming my favorite in medium format for sure... Going for more grain in my 35mm at the moment. Considering some tests in 4x5 as well. Just so many good options (good problems!) Thanks!
watching you grip that camera in the behind the scenes makes me wonder how often you end up with a finger tip in the frame. not a criticism at all, btw. just something that popped into my head while watching =-)
Tmy has a tabular grain emulsion , lays flat , has a linear tonal scale , super fine grain . Try Tx , thicker , traditional , emulsion thickness , Irregular grain pattern , developing grains clump creating a shadowy pattern , develops internal contrast developing irregular edges That look less smooth . Tmy is a great film . Try Tx , see the difference . Tabular grain , irregular grain , different curve , the key !
@@blazerbarrel2 Thanks, I use TriX all the time although mostly in 4x5 the 320. As I prefer it. Also prefer HP5 to TRIX 400. Are you going off your own curves and developing? Or the manufacturers? I can get quite different characteristics depending how I develop That is why I’m the video I stated I have the development nearly double what Kodak recommends to give the correct contrast for my printing paper. ( the paper you print with can have a great deal to how much you like the films curve as well) For me it’s all about getting the tones on paper where I want them and Tmax spears to me to do it quite well. Mileage has many variables…

Awesome! Thank you!
thanks, love the up close and personal facial shots, and a great demo of the 120 macro lens, am seriously thinking about getting one now!!
I love this lens for portraits. To get full macro out of it you do need extension tubes but is is a great lens!
@@Distphoto yes, great video, but one piece of advise, for the loading at the start of the video, Put that it is timelapsed, YOU NEVER want to load this delicate tool that fast!, you will break or scratch something!
This is great! Can you do a video on using extension tubes? It's something I would love to learn how to do with my 501cm!!
I will see what I can do... Thanks!

lovely work mate! quick qst when you do use an extension tube, do you compensate for exposure ? Thank you Nino.
Yes, I do give compensation, There is an online chart I will go to as a reference if in question, but otherwise keep it roughly the same for the different tubes and have found that adequate.

Can you do a tutorial on shooting this camera with flash?
Yes, I can I am in the middle of editing a few at the moment but will do that as soon as I can. Thanks!
hello, what trigger are you using on the hasselblad to fire the flash?
The Phottix Stratto II. Trigger and receivers. They have been extremely reliable and have great range 👍
Thanks a lot for the answer@@Distphoto, i'm going to see if I can find those
@@FrancoCanepa Here are the one I use... amzn.to/3DR8BhK Except mine are for Canon. This has no bearing on how they work in this sense They are just manual triggers Very reliable ones.
Looks like you are really going to have to blow those up big to see much grain.
Yeah they are pretty clean… more used to HP5. So far really like the tones and looking forward to how it prints!
This is the best film out there, too bad it’s very expensive by the time it gets here

I thought the same thing when I saw the footage :) Hasn’t happened yet… But I am now more aware of it.
The photos are crap,
because the eyes are UNSHARP.
Tmy is a lousy for portraits ! Tones read like bubble gum , no soft round look . The range is to linear .
I was quite impressed with the film myself but to each his own 🤷🏻♂️
