Great vid!!
Digital is for fun 🎉 Film is forever 🌿
im with you Bro
Nice video, just pick one up. What is the 4 exp mode for, really just 4 exp?
My understanding is that the reason this camera was made was for tour groups where a guide could take a group photo and each person in a large group would resolve in high fidelity because of the large negative. But, it would be silly to shoot 8 frames of a group shot so they made 4exp rolls specifically for this purpose, they take 4 shots, less money spent and 4 chances to catch everyone smiling for the shot. More economical. That’s what I’ve read anyhow.
I love the internet
Hello, I have also à Fuji 690 III and I was wondering if your viewfinder was also a bit blueish. Like a white wall would appear like a very light blue. Tanks for your vidéo !
I never noticed one way or the other!
The idea of being restricted the to film type and ISO that you have loaded is a huge advantage for anyone who is shooting with the intention of narrowing in on their best creative work. I like to think of it like a gymnast who is on the balance beam. From the time they jump up on that beam until they dismount they know what their limitations are and they raise their level of performance to meat the challenges of those limitations. They are not concerned about their performance on the uneven bars or the floor exercises. No, they concentrate on the beam and they do their absolute best on that beam. Digital only shooters should really try restricted their ISO to one setting and turning off their nack screen and seeing how that might elevate their skills as an exercise.
Limitations can be a good thing!
I am glad I found your great teaching video tutorial here! As the others have already commented, I agree with them, that you have made one of the most sensible and clear explanations of the Scheimpflug Principle. I have three of the TS-E lenses but my TS-E 17mm ƒ/4L unfortunately is now in two pieces after a fall with the camera and tripod on the blank sea ice one winter. I am most satisfied with the 24mm II and the 90mm. Now you have given much more motivation to use them more frequently and more creatively with swing as you nicely gave fine examples of in your well done YT-video! Highly appreciated! Greetings from Sweden! 💯👍👌
You are most welcome! Stay safe on the ice! 😄
I have used a Nikon 24 PC-E on my D810 for years, and it is exceptional. Sadly, all to many people now expect to get out of their cars, walk a step or two, point their mobile 'phone and take breathtaking pictures. These slow you down, consider the view point and perspective, focus and tweak and take one or two pics and not dozens of never-looked-at snaps. Thank you for an excellent video.
1:53 I felt totally related to that and your pain too , well OUR pain l🤣lol
Great Review Jeff ! Straight to the point... The Camera and 6x9 its the perfect combo or portability ( easy to carry ) and Format size combined with a drum scanner its Gorg 🤩
Dude. I totally empathize on the glasses thing. As a 40-something year old man, I've been fighting that glasses battle for a few years now (I have them, but I refuse to wear them). I actually made the switch (for my digital setup) to Mirrorless a few years ago thinking the larger screen would help -- kind of like my waist-level-finder medium format cameras, but no -- I still have to hold the screen arms-length to see it. Dag Nabbit! So I have found a new love with my GW690 and (the new) Mamiya 6 because they are portable medium format cameras that have a rangefinder that is friendly for us "old" folks ;)
I can’t even see my phone or the lcd on the back of a camera. What started at 1.25x is now 2.5x readers! Love my film cameras even though I have to interact with digital screens for work. Glasses on/glasses off back and forth all day. Finally got some croakies for my readers and I feel like a librarian! Ha! Best wishes to you on this aging journey!
Lav bullet?
Yes. Lav bullet.
Thank you Jeff.
Thanks for watching Don! Hope you’re doing well!
@@onseteducation921 Getting better every day. I hope you are happy and having fun. I've watched many lav technique videos and yours was my favorite. Very thorough. Thank you

Yay Jeff!😁
Congratulations, Jeff! Wishing you lots of interest on this project.
Thanks Kathy! A work-in-progress! What classes would YOU be interested in?
nice video. i had the dadm 226 under the mixer - plug and forget . now using sound devices 833 with sl2 - love th video =)
Im trying to be an assistant I’ve sent a lot of emails to photographers but they don’t reply how I can approach to them, what is the best way to
Sometimes people don’t respond to email at all. It’s very easy to ignore an email. Call them on the phone. Leave a brief message that you’re an assistant and looking around for work. It’s also, as of the time of this message, a bit slow overall in the industry. Don’t give up, things will pick up. Find the other assistants in your area and reach out to them too. Often word of mouth can get you gigs. Also ask around about (or research) who the producers are as they often hire crew too. Get on their list.
How much total cost roughly is that bag with all it's contents? Curious.
With 4 channels of transmitters and IFB, about $15k. But that’s new - you can find a lot used these days. Thanks for watching!
You're way too professional with this bag AND your backup bag. Thanks for having a TH-cam channel to show the way.
I have a healthy distrust of tech - so I make sure I have solutions available if things go wrong. It’s like sailing, there are limited maneuvers a boat can make - it’s how you react when something goes wrong that makes you seaworthy!
Great work!
Thank you and thanks for watching!
A 690 neg resolves equiv to a 250MP digi and I can confirm this - we use Fujifilm GFX100II and Hass 907x100c and an X2D - and having used a HassH6D 100c and also a Phase One - we often use the 690 (and a GX680) and have to re-adjust the res down for clients - one thing we sometimes do is print from the 690 - and create a digi file for printing using the 907x to copy - it the difference is staggering
Love 6x9
wow yes that was great tell me more about your antenna distribution and how that gear to the front of the bag and your ifb ?
The distro is from PSC, distributes the signal from the Betso antennas into my receivers. The IFB is a Lectro LT in B band with a battery eliminator so I can power it off my power distribution and I use RMas for receivers. I also have some Comteks if I need a an additional separate feed in which case I use my SD633 for that scenario as the MP10ii is limited with outputs.
What easy rig are you using? Do you like it?
It’s a Flycam Flowline Master with steady arm - it’s ok. I wish I had gotten an Easyrig instead mainly because the waist strap on the Flycam is kinda thin and cheap and not as supportive as on an Easyrig.
Thanks for the video. I use the limited shift feature of my Nikkor 28mm f/4 PC lens mounted on my full-frame cameras to control perspective. When I need to control the depth-of-field by using the Scheimpflug principle to alter the plane of focus, I use a Nikon to Fuji tilt adapter to mount my Nikkor 28mm f/4 PC lens on an APS-C Fuji X body. This adapter adds a tilt feature to a lens that has a shift feature. The only disadvantage to this method is that the 28mm wide-angle lens now performs like a normal lens. If the front shift/tilt movements of my Nikon 28mm f/4 PC lens mounted on my Fuji X body with a tilt adapter does not meet my needs, I use the front and rear shift/tilt features of my 4x5 inch monorail view camera.
Does your 4x5 have a digital back? Check out the Cambo Actus series - pretty cool. Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching!
@@onseteducation921 No digital back; thanks for the recommendation.
My photo professor told us to place softbox while on the stand but this makes much more sense. No more worrying about knocking the strobe down. I'll keep note!!! Thank you!!
The reason for this is some boxes are large. Try putting a six foot tall octabank on a strobe while it’s on a stand and you’ll immediately see how clumsy it is compared to this other method. Not all photo professors have spent significant time on set.
How do you get around having the easy rig rope in front of the monitor? Just have to deal with it or is it out of the way?
Doesn’t bother me at all. Yes it’s a bit in the way but the camera is off to one side, which means I’m looking at the monitor at a somewhat oblique angle, which puts the cable off to one side of the monitor, I still cleanly see 2/3rds of the monitor. Even with all that, when I’m shooting I’m concentrating on other things and the cable fades away.
Are you doing mostly auto-focus or manual focus? I just can't get over the rope in front of the monitor. And then mounting the monitor to the left puts the balance off for the easy rig. Still trying to figure out what works best for us@@onseteducation921
Currently in film school and I will say where I am attending is pretty much intro to film, no specializing. I have learn a few things but nothing worth all the time I've spent stressed. I could have learned more by doing.
If there’s a film industry in your area, the best way in is to look into your state’s film office, hit the crew list, find who the film producers are and ask them to be a Production Assistant.
Adapting these to Sony E is the best 😁
Cool! I’ve also heard they are great on the Fuji cameras too.
Very well said!! Wish you a great time!
Thanks for watching!
Great video! And I LOVE how simple but NICE your filming setup looks like!
Thanks so much! Keeping it simple!
Sorry if this has already been answered, but why is 4exp/120 an option? I can't seem to find a practical use for this.
There used to be a film in Japan w 4exp. The reason, I speculate: this camera was real popular with tour group organizers because they could take a group pic of everyone and the large neg allowed them to see peoples faces with clarity. But having 8exp was overkill for what would be 1 image of the group. So 4exp could be bracketed and process that roll per tour group.
Beautiful Camera, like a dream from childhood... I thinking in my young years, that design and dimensions is best for cameras. But this price...
I just wish it had interchangeable lenses! But otherwise it’s fun to get back to basics with no bells or whistles and still make great images.
@@onseteducation921 Yes, interchangeable lenses for such a wonderful device would be really cool! But its cost would also increase by 2-3 times. The result would be an expensive 6x9 system with lenses. By the way, a month ago I joined the medium format first. And wanting to return to a simple analogue, I bought Kiev 6C, but it is 6x6. Of course, I dreamed of a Fuji camera like yours, or a Fuji 6x7 SLR. But everything has its time, for now it’s a high cost for me. I wish you great pictures and pleasure in your work!
Incredible, thank you 😊
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
Very informative video. Do any productions rely primarily on audio recorders with lavs on the talent with or without a wireless transmitter back to a wireless receiver in an audio bag like yours ?...or is wireless recording like your setup the defacto gold standard for every type of production all the way up to Hollywood movie sets ?
There’s no “it’s this way all the time” in audio because every show is different and has different requirements. Some productions might be framed to where you can boom most or all of it. Some might be framed where wireless lavs are what you hear all the time. Some scenes might need lav but be too far away for wireless so they record to SD card and sync with timecode. But the vast majority of modern productions now lav everyone and boom as well for as much coverage as possible. Every show is different and every scene might require a different approach. Thanks for watching!
Would love to see some street photography from this thing! Enjoyed the video
There’s definitely some other reviews out there with some street photo uses! Thanks for watching!
What about sound equipment used in a motion picture/film? Is the gear in your sound bag used in that also or does a commercial motion picture film crew film crew use different equipment ?
You “could” record a major film with a 6 or 8-channel mixer, and I’ve worked some narrative projects with this bag setup - however many mixers on feature movies use bigger machines with more options, off a cart. It’s really just a matter of how many inputs and outputs you need, and how close to set you can get. Many feature film mixers use Dante networks, antenna arrays, and mixers that have between 8 and 32 inputs that can handle 1-2 wireless booms, multiple wireless lavs, timecode, Dante, and tons of outputs to accommodate IFB, earwigs, VOG speakers, playback (musicals), and all sorts of comms and talkback for boom ops and such… basically ready for any and all sorts of situations. Usually all that runs off a cart. The benefits of Dante and antenna masts are that the cart can be much further from set. Some folks use Sound Devices 8-series or Scorpio, some use Zaxcom systems, some use Aaton Cantar. My sound bag has some gear in it that can definitely be reconfigured for that type of work - my wireless transmitters and receivers, my IFB, antennas, power distro - it’s really that I’d want a mixer with more inputs and outputs and routing options like a 688 or 888 or Scorpio in the Sound Devices systems. Thanks for watching!
@@onseteducation921 Thank you for the response. Very helpful
😊@@onseteducation921
This is hilarious! Thanks for the chuckle!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Best of luck, man. Do well.
Thank you!! So far so good! Moving in the right direction!
Love this/these vids Jeff. Nice work on the hustle and for sharing your hustle. The bit about employers wanting applicants to wear 20 different (very skilled professional) hats was spot on. Freelancing is tricky, but sometimes is better than being squashed by the mechanics of a “day job”. Hope you are having some fun in your new town!
Thanks Andy! I suppose this is the only world I’m finding some success. Keepin on with the keepin on! Thanks for watching my friend.
Neat. I love my GSW690 II! Such neat cameras and so much fun to use. With my viewfinder app for exposure, that is.
Totally agree! Haha good thinking with the app. I use a small spot meter. Use what you got!
I have the Fuji GSW690iii and the GSW670iii that I carry in a backpack, along with a Sekonic light meter and a few filters. The backpack is reasonably light and easy to carry. I mostly shoot b&w film in both. I have had the 690 since 2002 and love it!, Sadly, it doesn't see much use these days, but it is a joy to use when I do. Thanks for your review!
Thanks for watching! Yeah there’s just something fun about the bare-bones nature of these cameras. Back to basics and high image quality. Not for all shooting scenarios but does great with what it’s best for. Cheers!
Btw if you use bulb mode the shutter stays open until you start to wind the camera. It doesn’t close if you press the shutter. This quirk can ruin your exposer and cause exposer streaks. So you have to basically cover the front of the lens to stop the exposure then start to wind the shutter
Oddly I’ve been looking into Pentax but I’ve absolutely fallen in love with the look of this beast! And it seems to have many upsides
