What a find! What an accomplished photographer you are. Thank you for sharing
Absolutely love the second to last image
Thank you for showing the church and grounds. I really like the way the grass and plants are left to grow wild giving the grounds and grave stones a connection to nature.
A beautiful place.
I bet that camera was probably brought back here after the end of WW2 by someone out the military. Your videos are great.
Hi Martin ! Great video , interesting kamera and photos !!!
great Bargain and Fantastic Video !
What a find! ❤
Brilliant once again Martin!
Martin what a cracking camera, I really like the tree at night image.
I also enjoy these old camera's a lot. Recently I adapted my 10x15 cm Voigtlander Bergheil to be used with standard 4x5 film holders, this works very nice.
Nice work, you're highly skilled. Hard working with old analog equipment.
Truly enjoyed to see how you work with these marvels of early cameras. I would appreciate for my learning process to get your film and developer used. I noticed the density of your negatives are alway so good.
Beautiful images. Lovely camera indeed, with a great lens. if I am not mistaken, the natural blue "coating" (patina) on the lens is from natural aging of the lens surface itself and that is how actual, intentional, manufactured lens coating and its many benefits were discovered before and during WWII.
Beautiful
beautiful! thank you!
A company called Zebra makes glass film plates. I ordered dry plates coated with an emulsion ready to use in my 5x7 view camera. Very nice quality, reasonably priced and fast shipping to the USA.
I think they even make custom sizes.
I admire your craft, and your understanding of these early cameras and methods.
I love everything you do. The photographs you show at the end of your videos always take my breath away. Please keep making these. People more talented than me will certainly profit from them, while we normal folks will just have them as a testament to the beauty to be achieved through a true and pure passion.
Beautiful images! Just because a camera is "old" or outdated" does not mean it's in any way inferior. To the contrary, what you've achieved with your simple, fantastic camera is pure excellence. Thank you for putting this video together and posting it!
Martin you are the master of these old cameras. Wonderful work.
Amazing I love seeing these old cameras and what you achieve with them Thank you .
It's great to see you sorting and using these old cameras, and your images are really stunning. Marvelous!
What a great camera and such a lovely churchyard and cemetery.
Stunning as usual! I have a glass plate 6.5x9cm in the same condition with a beautiful case. I got the inserts for the film backs to use sheet film if I can ever get the store to have it in stock. I will also buy some glass plates from lost light website. The red velvet is probably too old now. I'd replace it all with new. There is a old fashioned shop in Morecambe that do leather work. She would make you a new strap if that one breaks. £61 is a steal of a deal. Was that eBay? I find cameras at the moment on there have gone stupid high prices. Although I did bag a Olympus pen half frame the original one for $1. Trouble was after postage from Japan and taxes it came the €34! Still that's cheap for those cameras. Look forward to the next video.
Your video is done very well. Many young people are not as careful as you are. I have learned a lot of techniques and cognition in your detailed explanation.👍
A beautiful camera, Martin. I love your pragmatic approach to solving problems, and your videos are always so instructive in camera craft and technique.
Beautiful images Martin, truly a testament to the fine workmanship by the camera maker and the skill and patience of the photographer. Your respect and love for these old cameras shows in the marvellous images you capture. Thanks!
Thank you Martin, very informative I love the classic quality of your prints.
A very wonderful find for certain! Wonderful images!
I'd love to see you expose plates in this old camera, Martin. Great vlog, thankyou!.😊
What a beauty...and the photos too 👍
Ash die back seems particularly bad in Yorkshire. All the trees at Malham Cove are ashes and they’ve all got it.
Beautiful photos, Martin. You've inspired me to get out my old Bergheil and shoot it again. Cheers!
Martin , your always wonderfully charming and every podcast is a welcome treat , keep them coming please you have made my grey Tuesday brighter , oh and I do have a couple vintage cameras , M3 , W RolleiI 55mm F4 ,and a humble Rollie D with the 75mm 3.5 Tessar. I had them out yesterday shooting too.
What a bargain, Martin, a little fettling and you have yourself a beautiful medium/large format experience..
I look forward to seeing this camera in use on the promenade at Whitby or Bridlington, or further north photographing fishing boats at Seahouses.
Fascinating. Does your quick release plate have a 3/8th inch or 1/4 quarter inch screw?
Good find Martin - hope that roll film back works out ok - definitely some influence from Germany.
I keep buying old cameras, Martin. Is there a solution or should I just go with it 😃 Really enjoyed this video, what a fascinating camera; thank you.
A little something given to the church, we need to keep history alive and clearly this is an important place for you and your family.
Thank you for sharing! I would like to ask how to reduce the error between the viewfinder and the film box for this camera. How to solve the problem of thin and shallow film shadows during development? thanks
Thankyou for another wonderful video, and lovely images (as always!). I'm starting to feel large format calling me (though I should get a bit more use out of my medium format cameras first). The Bergheil was a tempting first step, but I think I'll hold out another year and then go for either a Graflex or an Intrepid.
😄🤩😍
Hello! Can the rear group of Plaubel Peco Universal 3 810 be translated left and right?
Great video, the pictures are fantastic, could I ask a question, I'm planning on doing some long exposure pictures with my Canon AV-1. Please correct me if I'm wrong but did you say if you are shooting B&W film you don't need to bother with reciprocity failer?
Reciprocity failure effects all films other than Fuji Acros , the longer the exposure reciprocity failure increases exposure times
@@martinhensonphotography Thanks Martin
Another fascinating video and beautiful images! I have a question Martin: how do you ensure that the insides of the cameras and film backs are clean? I had a 120 film spoiIed by dust spots from the inside of my Voigtlander Bessa RF. This has made me wary of using 120 cameras and camera backs. (For example,I tapped a RADA film back over a sheet of white paper, and a shower of debris fell out). I have three 9x12 plate cameras in near-new condition: a Kodak Recomar (super quality, made in Germany), a Voigtlander Bergheil and a Voigtlander Avus, none of which I have used yet with film backs or sheet film because of my concern regarding dust. I can vacuum out the inside of each camera and film back with a battery powered mini vacuum cleaner, but if there’s anything else you can recommend to ensure that the cameras are free of dust, I would be grateful if you would tell me. know.
