Oh wow, I was looking just to see samples from this interesting camera, but damn you covered rule of thirds so so perfectly! Everythingtraight to the point. Imma newbie although I obviously knew about the rule, but that examples were helpful, thank you! Would you be opposed to do more composition techniques basics in the future in this manner?
That pano ratio is a double edge sword, I used to like the cinematic framing so much but overtime it feel so empty, spacious, so i sold the xpan for a h4x
Hey Bon! What a great review! I've been wanting one of these cameras for ages and you're not helping the cause 💸 ahah I love your photos from across the street and when shot with this camera, they definitely look like frames from a movie! Well done!!
Your results are fantastic and I am so curious about the Wolfen NC 400, a film stock, which is absolutely unaffordable here in Japan. Also Orwo‘s shipping rates … out of this world. 🥶 So, I guess, I have to wait, until somebody is visiting me from Germany … hahaha … if it is still available then. 🙏🏻 Anyway, can’t wait for your video about it !!! 🖖🏻
The OG X-Pan(TX-1) ,what a camera. i miss the times when munfacturesr had the balls and money to take risks like this camera. 6:43 if I tilted the camera too much I sometimes just rotate the image and instead of cropping i let photoshop fill the missing parts of the image. ( in case you didn't tried it out yet).
Right? They’re just cramming more megapixels nowadays and calling it a day 😂 anyways, yeah I sometimes use the content award fill in photoshop (I used it here to make the clips at 9:05 and 9:59) but I find it still gets confused when the area you wanna fill is big and complicated 😂 I tried it a bit for this one but the buildings in the background started to look weird
Bon, firstly what a camera - I've been waiting for you to dedicate a whole episode to it, and you did it justice. Reaffirmed my love for the cinema ratio if you will and now I want this and a Leica M6 because of you and my wallet hates you 😂Secondly the production on this video is insane man! The animation, the photoshopped alternate cyclist position - just so inspired by your content now! Loved the shot at @9:53. Bravo my good man! Now for my questions. - Do labs just scan this stuff normally? Or what is your workflow like scanning this ration? - I noticed you said the rangefinder makes it tricky to know what's in the shot, but does it have frame lines at all?
Thanks Brendon!!! My current lab scans it properly but a previous lab couldn’t do it with their scanner so they gave me a chopped image 😂 at home, I got a film holder from Valoi that’s meant for scanning this ratio with a digital camera but I also have a Lomography Digitaliza which I use with my flat bed v600. It does have bright frame lines, but I’m too used to SLRs so when I frame something quick, I sometimes don’t bother properly checking the frame 😂 also, I think depending on how far you are from the subject, the frame lines can be either inclusive or exclusive (like stuff within the actual frame lines might still be included or not) from my experience, a lot more of the bottom part gets included (if that makes sense)
Ohhh. I too have just shot a roll of NC500 through my panoramic camera. I have way more faith than yours than mine though. My Fuji 6x9 was not particularly happy to be running 35 mm
Personally, I feel that the Panorama ratio is better with less-busy scenes. The other way is to turn the Xpan 90 degrees and take several parallel pics.
You are CRIMINALLY under-subbed my guy. I can't stop binging your videos - thank you for sharing your amazing work!
Aww thanks for the kind words 😊
Glad to see some local Toronto content. Great user overview of the camera!
Good to see you again.
This video took forever to edit 🙈
Best rule of thirds demo ever!
Thanks 😆

Thanks! It’s something I’d like to do more in the future for sure, but I can’t really promise when since I’m slow and can’t do this full time 😅
Great video and really nice photos. Love seeing the panoramic format
Thank you 😊
That pano ratio is a double edge sword, I used to like the cinematic framing so much but overtime it feel so empty, spacious, so i sold the xpan for a h4x
Oooh how do you like it?
@@Bonsees It great, you can use a digital back on it too.

Proper video!
That's my grail camera '
Thanks! It’s definitely worth grail status 😆
Great content! Thank you!
Glad you like it 😄

Awesome animations! Did you do them yourself?
Yeah, I edit all my videos myself including the animations 😆
Ohhh. I too have just shot a roll of NC500 through my panoramic camera. I have way more faith than yours than mine though. My Fuji 6x9 was not particularly happy to be running 35 mm
I have a GW690 II too~ been planning on making a comparison 😂

I’ve taken vertical photos with mine though rarely 😂
'Hard to use'? Something wrong with you. At least you didn't buy the wrapped TX-1 from Hasselblad for 2k premium over the original Fujifilm
