I love your video its to bad more younger people dont work with flim cameras, Digtal just dont compare with a large format camera

[heyyyitsdebbie]

@52DODGEM37 It's true. The quality the 4x5 has is amazing - definitely doesn't compare to digital.

I'm really interested with this. Digital is just too easy I guess.

@sixtiesforever1966 Why the caps-yelling? And if you insist on counting pixels: A scanned 4x5 provides way more megapixels than the digital backs. Last time i checked, Leaf digital backs were in the range from 10.000$ to 40.000$. Same for Mamiya backs. I can buy more sheet film than i could ever shoot with this money. Or rent a posh apartment for a year.

And there are people that just love developing silver film, like me. Hey, photography isn't just all about the result, right?

I was just given a Cambo SC2 missing only the plate holder; other than that, it's a complete set; thanks for sharing this, I'll need as many tutorials as possible =D

@52DODGEM37 i always take my practika 35mm with me to a shoot even with my digital i end up going through a roll unfortunately i don't have enough money for a large format camera although i'd love to get one :P
