yes, you do use it, 1/2000th is the fastest speed of the 200/2000 series hasselblads, as they possess a focal plane shutter, and for high sunlight, this is useful as it saves having to use filters to block out the light.

Can the Flashmeter V measure reflective flash?

How is the training going for the big ride with Robert? Great idea to change his perspective in times of sadness.

What was the result with the ULF camera? Did you consider using pre-flash or did you where satisfied with the contrast. You may expose to light after the first stop bath.

Superb Video!!!! Thx for making

Hi, Dave. I have a question about tanol. I recently developed Fuji x-ray in tanol (5 +5+500) t 20* constant agitation 10 min. On negative I received a lot of smol evenly distributed white spot. Before I developed this film in rodinal without eny issues. Have you any thoughts about this. Thanks. Regards. Andrew

Same issue with me. Whn Left battery in grip runs down camera does NOT then power on from the Right hand battery. Hopeless. Completely frustrating.

Does the meter possess the ability to set an aperture value manually and calculate shutter speed from there?

this was a fantastic video. Thank you for sharing it!

Many Thanks I ready order them!

I just Bought the GX680III, is 2 x CR2 for the back and under the camera is a compartiment for 3 batteries, do you know wish battery is this one? Thank you!

Nice work. A persons age at the time they pursue a Master of Fine Arts degree probably has an impact on what the experience means to the artist. I did my MFA in my early twenties. It was a great experience as I was too young and too full of myself to be worried about the meaning of the degree. I just liked the freedom and time to pursue my interest in photography. To an older person it probably means other things as well. One important thing I learned from the experience is that the meaning of what I do artistically is not something I discuss (I hated writing about my work and personal influences). Talking about compositional elements is of interest to me but that’s where I draw the line. Listen to the Garry Winogrand interview with Barbara Lee Diamondstien. He spells out his motivations very clearly in that interview. Best wishes!

what a load of shite likes to talk without showing what he has done ( close-up).

I had a use for such a frame type system camera and built one from aluminum with a 2X3 Linhof rotating back adapter and helical mounted SA 38/5.6, SA 47/5.6, and 65/5.6. I use the Linhof optical view finder or g.g. and reflex finder. It has 4 way shift capability. Clearly, the Horseman is similar, cheaper and ready made.

Excellent tutorial Dave,many thanks!

Just caught your last video and it's good to see you looking and sounding so well Dave. Regarding suggestions for future videos, quite some time ago you talked about, and demonstrated, your Fuji GX680 medium format film camera. That was fascinating for me, and I'd love to see more of that type of video where you teach us more about image making: composition, exposure, developing/scanning/printing film etc., as well as the technical and artistic thought processes that get you out taking photographs. By the way, do you still use the big Fuji? More please!

Thanks for the video, there's not a lot of info about this camera!

Thank you so much for this introduction to this spotmeter Coming into photography again after many years absence and am deciding which spotmeter to purchase and use Much appreciate your experience and expertise

Faced exactly the same issue with XT3 grip for a very important event, the left battery got discharged and did not connect and the camera stopped recording. TOo bad for a camera of the likes of Fujifilm XT3 to have such an issue. I hope Fujifilm is watching youtube videos to find out their faults.

Hi David, I own the Eskute Netuno of which I gave your brother Robert and his friend a go of at Broom Park August 22. On reference to the battery range diminishing, Try this. Plan a route so your battery totally drains on the way home and turns off the bike. When you get home charge the battery for a full 8 hrs, This will balance the cells to all equal amounts and you will get your range back. I have owned my Netuno for 14 months now and I actually get 65 miles on 3 assist. I also have the battery fully charged for all journeys as I do not intend to be storing the battery fully charged for any period. Plus a fully charged battery gives you more power, acceleration and an effort free ride. Hope this helps. :)

Thank you for this value able video

at 4:28 there is another 'wrench' solution, leica camera repairmen use it, like a jar wrench, but made of aluminium or brass, it looks like a spaceship in shape, with a slot leading to the aperture, where squeezing the two legs tightens the fit, look at how people remove the collars on the flash sockets of the old M2 leica's, That's the tool.

fyi, this also is the case when you add the HM 16-32 back on any H hasselblad camera, the 2032 inside, dies, and the same repercussions occur, esp when you go to take the magazine off the camera, so one tip, ALWAYS check these batteries before loading the mag, as this replacement might only be possible, like the h cameras with the mag open, so check with a dummy roll before any important shooting sessions.

So good to see you are going so well, Dave. Interesting comments on the new bike and computer. I too have upgraded to a manual bike after using an ebike for a while. And very interesting comments re weight loss viz a viz calories in, calories out. The proof is obvious; you are looking great and obviously feeling even better. Cycling really is a wonderful pastime, and taking a camera with you is the icing on the cake - not that you eat cake. I’d be keen just to see anything you find interesting in your local environment; given that the chances of me getting there are slim to non-existent and it looks like a lovely part of the world. You could start with that guy Auckland who kindly gave his name to your place and mine. We, in Aotearoa, New Zealand , are going bilingual and reverting to the original names of places; replacing names given by various British personal who, it turns out to less than savoury and certainly not worth honouring in any way. Lord Hamilton comes to mind in this regard. I don’t know the history of Auckland - Bishop Auckland?? Oh , congrats on MFA; what a wonderful achievement. Well done, Dave.

Thanks Dave for the update. Good to see you are making progress with the weight loss. Looking forward to hearing what plans you have for the photography.

if you only need a tilt, have you thought of the sinar tilt head?, it has a flat top 5\8th screw, like a tripod column top, and it is small enough, not a large bulky thing, like the linhof one (see the one used by the technika shooters on the youtube channel for linhof store); this is designed to take a P2 , which can have a meter extension of the rails, with a 300 or larger lens on, middle standards, two or more rail clamps, even have two hole cameras connected together, aka two standard sets, ON the one head!! ( they effect this by adding the rail clamps onto a video camera long plate, which connects like an optical bench, to another qr plate, then onto the tripod). PS the sinar system does have an 8x10" standard for the rear, so does shoot this format!!

Hi Dave. Hope you well. I’d be very keen to hear how things re bikes and breakfast are coming along with you. I have recently embraced the low-carb/ high fat regime and also bought a Brompton. I don’t think the 2 activities are related but you never know with these things. Anyway, I value your thoughts and opinions are would really like to hear how you are going with cycling and health and photography and anything else. In the meantime, all the very best. S

dave, the "M" sync is different to the "x" sync socket, not in form, but in function, the M system was for cheMical bulbs, a 1\60th of a sec. delay is introduced to the shutter actuation, allowing for the chemistry to achieve proper white balance aka for the burn to get to optimal temp. this takes time, Xenon lamps (old neon sign bulbs) get to full light intensity immediately!, so no delay is required to daylight balance the film.

one reason for the 90 deg. detents on the swing and tilt are to pack it up (in a suitcase, flat) another is, like on sinars, this allows you to use this std as a "bed" for positioning subjects on, like a microscope stage!, but for macro, using the rise\shift to adjust composition; but you add a solid plate on the standard, NOT drilled for a copal shutter, but whole, to lie the subject onto.

How are you going Dave? I’ve been hoping for a new video from you. How’s the cycling going? How’s the diet going too? Hope you are well and having a ball. S

Thanks Dave, for this useful video..

the f-stops on the focus knob, like the sinar f2 are for dof calculation, if you want two points in focus, you set focus on one, zero the dial, then focus on the other, it determines which F stop you need to set both inside the depth of field "box", the other scale, on sinars on the left of the standard post, is for the angles, similar principle, but to achieve sceimflug and get both points inside the same plane, just remember you need to determine +/-, these only give the degree of movement.

I would replace the vase by a ruler.

Wait what? Did you seriously just tell us that you wasted a frame right before telling us that you can shoot twice on the same frame? How'd you do that just shoot again on the same frame

Thank you for making this video. I am looking into this tripod head for my tabletop product photography. I am currently using a ball head tripod and it is difficult to get things exactly how I want them. A heavy duty geared head and tripod like this would help immensely in my product photography. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience

Congratulations, Dave. I appreciate that you took the time to show us your successful MFA submission. Very well put together.

I would love to hear more about your expereinces in persuing an MFA. I have considered this path in the past but felt it was probably not worth the money, so I would love to hear more of you opinions on the matter. I think my intrest in the subject came from my ownbook making. I use Blurb, Shutterfly and a couple of others to make books. I have even used 3 ring binders with a series of 8.5x11 prints of loosely connected works.

Great Dave!!!

Interested in the “yourfreestandards” you were talking about…

Great informative period! Thank you for sharing.

Lovely images and great panorama book.Very interested in this artist book idea being continued.Thanks for the work you do in these videos

Thanks for the video. I've just gotten a GX680 II from Japan and it's in pretty good shape, but no battery. Hopefully it works :-) I don't have a lens yet either, but I ordered one of the 135mm from ebay to get started. Making an adapter plate to take the Nikon battery packs sounds like a great idea. I might have just finally found a reason to /need/ a 3d printer....

🤤 *promosm*

one point dave, the Graflex cameras have a FOCAL PLANE shutter, so 1/1000th sec. max shutter speed, as the leaf shutters can only do 1/500th due to size, and the fact each blade must remain fully open for the exposure time, then close. this is why you can hand hold, as the shutter is fast enough to stop the motion blur of hand_holding; eg: for MF cameras, due to the shallow dof, and the telephoto nature of the lenses you MUST tripod shutter speeds longer than 1/125th as this is the slowest you can go handheld reliably, with sharp shots; with LF these factors are less in your favour, dof is even shallower (hence the need for f45 & f64 to get a large enough dof for shooting sharp shots, even at the expence of speed, you would need several sec. exposures to do this).

Well done👍

Give an executive summary of what worked. Spare us the endless details of what didn't. Or, put failures at the end.

Dave, congratulations on your MFA completion and the beautiful images that you created. I've learned a lot from watching your channel. It's hard to believe that it has been 8 years of doing so, starting back when I was researching the Fuji GX680 system and came across your videos on that camera. I hope you keep at it.

Great video Dave!!!

Superb photographs !!!

Well done Dave.
