dude, you are delivering some high quality work with these photography documentaries!! well done

@ribsy Год назад

Thank you!

@yetanotherbassdude Год назад

As someone who used to live in Brighton, this is without a doubt the most "Hove, Actually" thing I've ever seen and I love it! I just wish I'd gone and visited myself when I was still living down there. I just love how they're using some fairly high tech solutions like CNC routing and 3D printing to build things that are essentially obsolete technology, and because of those manufacturing methods they can sell them at a price that's accessible for a lot more people. Been toying with getting a 4x5 and this may have convinced me to make it an Intrepid! 😁

@ribsy Год назад

Yea it’s a good mix of high tech and old tech

@jeffreystulin8130 Год назад

This was a fun interview. Ribsy is exceptionally good at interviews. He finds interesting people, he asks the right questions, and then "gets out of the way" and lets them answer in detail without being interrupted. Thanks Ribsy!

@ribsy Год назад

thank you for the compliment!

@MattatHiddenLight Год назад

LOVED this! So cool to see how these cameras come together and "meet" the people involved.

@ribsy Год назад

Agreed! Was great fun chatting with them

@arcanics1971 Год назад

I've been thinking about buying one of Intrepid's cameras in the near future, and seeing this was really good. It's nice to see how things are made. I'm only just starting my experimentation with medium format, so it might be a while before I move into a 4x5 LF camera, but it's certainly somewhere I want to get to.

@ribsy Год назад

Yea could be a good investment

@richardt1792 Год назад

A nice in between is the Mamiya Press with a 6x9 back. Prices are reasonable and yields a large negative. You still have all the ease of using roll film. You also don't need a tripod. Lenses are 50mm to 250mm. The 50mm gives a nice panorama view equal to a 21mm on a 35mm camera. Focus is a rangefinder. The Mamiya Super 23 allows for a ground glass focus.

@theothertonydutch Год назад

@@ribsy Investment is the wrong word. It's the word people who buy art use. As an artist, I can't stand it. Some things are worth having for your heart. Having a hand-made camera is very much something you buy mostly with your heart.

@philipdahl9001 Год назад

Thanks for your video tours! I have had a MK4 for a year and a half now, love it. It's nice to see how it was made.

@ribsy Год назад

Very cool!

@dankatz5224 Год назад

Amazing! The skill and dedication on display is inspiring. Seeing how focused the guy in the background at the end was, I was truly enraptured. Bravo

@ribsy Год назад

Yea! Lots of dedication

@visulisationmeditation 5 месяцев назад

thank you for the video. I live 25 miles from the company and did not know tha they were there. I will definitely be going to them soon. Thanks for sharing.

@sheelios Год назад

loving these tours and behind the scenes stuff! thanks for the videos!

@ribsy Год назад

Glad you like it!

@robbiemer8178 Год назад

A bit late to this excellent video. Thanks for taking the time to show us Intrepid! I've had my intrepid since 2017--first gen after the kickstarter--and have really enjoyed it. Light weight, well made, and inexpensive. It is nice to put some faces with the names. I am currently saving for the 4x5 enlarger. Considering the improvements they have made since the kickstarter, I unhesitatingly recommend their camera to folks wanting to shoot 4x5.

@ribsy Год назад

Dope! A Day one supporter

@SinaFarhat Год назад

Great work with the video! So nice to see how they work! Keep up the good work!

@ribsy Год назад

Thanks 😊

@35mmfilm97 Год назад

amazing craftsmanship. recreation of old stuff using modern technology without losing the essense. great achievement

@ribsy Год назад

Exactly! It’s a mark of history

@utomotjipto5294 Год назад

Last time I use 4x5 was 6 years ago 😊. Your video makes me clean up my Wista 4x5 and Chamonix 4x5, Schneider Kreuznach lenses and begin to play with the movements again.

@ribsy Год назад

thats some good kit!

@fepatton Год назад

Great tour and interviews! These guys are knocking it out of the park. Been seriously eyeing their 8x10, but now I’m thinking that the 4x5 would be a great hiking camera. I’m frankly surprised there’s so much demand, but happy too! View cameras can transform your photography. Cheers!

@ribsy Год назад

Yea they are a great company!

@JamieMPhoto Год назад

So cool! I love my Intrepid 8x10. I really should do a review video on it soon now that I've spent about a year with it.

@ribsy Год назад

You def should! That thing is huge haha

@williamshaffer9216 Год назад

Great Video!!! I loved watching the 3-D Printers in action!!!

@ribsy Год назад

Me too!

@ribsy 7 месяцев назад

Definitely!

@JuanLopez-ck7bx Год назад

As a person who just ordered an enlarger this video is getting me so pumped for when it arrives! Loved to see behind the scenes

@ribsy Год назад

Get excited!

@garychatfield6709 Год назад

Another excellent video! Keep them coming Ribsy 😎

@ribsy Год назад

Much appreciated

@CalumetVideo Год назад

Thanks for the vid! Intrepid is a great company that keeps improving their products. I think it is the best value in large format, especially for the the beginner.

@ribsy Год назад

Yea they are dope

@flavioserci6046 Год назад

wonderful video about wonderful people!

@ribsy Год назад

Indeed! Thanks for watching

@lensman5762 Год назад

A lot people particularly Americans criticise Intrepid cameras for lack of features or rigidity. Some smart guy was comparing one to an Ebony. For the price, they are incredible value. Yes, some features are lacking, but none is essential for making photographs. Show me an 8X10 field camera that could be bought for less than £600.00 new. I don't own Intrepid, nor am I associated with them BTW. My 4X5 cameras are Wista Rosewood DX, MPP MK VII and Cambo SF monorail. Thanks for the video.

@ribsy Год назад

Interesting. Good that an affordable decent option exists

@TheGazmondo 7 месяцев назад

Just love my Wista Rosewood ! And you’re absolutely right about their products and value for money ...

@joshualaird5303 Год назад

I looked at their site expecting crazy prices but was more than pleasantly suprised at the cost. Very reasonable! Your'e videos have come up a few times in my feed now and I've enjoyed everything I've seen. New sub :)

@ribsy Год назад

Yea they are def reasonable

@andrewgreen1355 Год назад

@ribsy Год назад

Glad you enjoyed

@cameronwilson8561 Год назад

Got my 4x5 black edition last week, still far from perfect but you simply can’t beat it when it comes to value for money! Looking forward to the future of Intrepid and what other amazing products they can produce. The enlarger is definitely on my shopping list.

@ribsy Год назад

It’s a good product 😃

@alvinbirdi6502 Год назад

Very interesting - pleased to see Intrepid doing so well. I have their 4x5 and the enlarger. Very good products at a remarkably low price in comparison to other large format. My only request would be a hard stop or other feature to help quickly zero the camera. These videos are great - hope you continue to make them (Adox?, Chroma?)

@ribsy Год назад

Thanks for watching! Maybe more videos we’ll see

@minisla Год назад

Great to see interest in film cameras continue

@ribsy Год назад

Yea exactly!

@simon.revill Год назад

Dope - enjoy!

@Casualfulltime Год назад

Brilliant!

@ribsy Год назад

Thanks

@richardt1792 Год назад

Very cool factory tour. I like 4x5. I hope someday they come up with a field camera as I'd like something hand held. Maybe get one of those LOMO backs for it so I can shoot Instax wide.

@ribsy Год назад

Yea field camera would be pretty cool

@ridealongwithrandy Год назад

Amazing video, I want one not for photography, but for display of this example of a beautifully engineered camera. Also to learn the intrinsic nature of 4x5 photography, I shoot 35mm mostly, and not sure to get into 4x5.

@ribsy Год назад

Yea it is beautiful

@0_Edgar_Allan_Poe Год назад

Loving my Intrepid 4x5 MK4. Lucked out and found a like new used one.

I 'd love it if I could come and brush your floor for a week or so. I think what you're doing is amazing!

@ribsy Год назад

Haha thanks

@AdrianBacon Год назад

Visiting Intrepid is on my bucket list. I have one of their 8x10 cameras and for what it costs, it's awesome.

@Kitsaplorax Год назад

Ribsy, I have looked at the 5x4 enlarger for about a year now. Your video convinced me to pull out the wallet and order one for my 5x5 Anniversary Speed Graphic, giving me a 21st Century Graflarger. I'm looking forward to using this as a UV enlarger as well.

@ribsy Год назад

Happy spending 😃

@Rene.Rondeau Год назад

@geoffchaplin5601 Год назад

Thanks, interesting and inspiring video. I wasn't aware of Intrepid (it's been a few years since I've been in the UK). It makes me want to get back to my LF. You should try it (you could sell your digital kit and do REAL photography😉)!

@ribsy Год назад

Haha na that’s too expense per photo

@scottplumer3668 Год назад

I was pleasantly surprised at how affordable those cameras are. Certainly not cheap, but not nearly as expensive as I thought.

@ribsy Год назад

Yea it’s a good bang for your buck

@scottplumer3668 Год назад

@@ribsy are those considered view cameras?

@neilpiper9889 Год назад

I like my MPP Micropress 5x4 because it folds away with the lens in place. I would love to try an Intrepid enlarger however.

@ribsy Год назад

Def!

@chilecayenne Год назад

Thanks, another very interesting Video!! I"m getting the impression you moved....from UK to US? Have a great weekend, looking forward to your next video! CC

@ribsy Год назад

I did move 😃

@thomastaylor9237 Год назад

Fantastic video. I wish Intrepid would make a 6 X 17 view camera. I’m looking for a new one and I believe that only Shin Hao makes new ones and it comes in at around $3,000. Can you imagine the market Intrepid would have with a $1,000-1,500 panoramic view camera? That would be amazing! Thanks, I’m a new subscriber.

@ribsy Год назад

Check out some 3D printed options

@jackyleecs Год назад

The whole environment looks so cosy. 21:45 did the founder give any indication on whether if a 4x5 Mk5 is coming out?

@ribsy Год назад

i know nothing 😅

@alfepalfe Год назад

I am curious, how much would they need to grow for it to make sense to make injection moulds instead of 3d printed parts. Injection moulding is fast and cheap but making the mould is *really* expensive. Also if the parts have very complicated geometry you can't really do it easily. That is how I understand it at least, I am just a person who has read some stuff online.

@ribsy Год назад

Very interesting. No clue on funding

@Resgerr Год назад

I enjoyed that Ribsy, are they going to make an enlarger that takes 5x4 negatives?

@ribsy Год назад

I think they already have one, it’s the original I believe

@Kitsaplorax Год назад

They have one already. I just ordered it for about 250 UK pounds to the States, including the 120 and 35mm film masks, shipping and packing.

@Resgerr Год назад

@@Kitsaplorax I know they do 35 and 120 but I have enlargers that do that I want 5x4 negatives- just check it out and the original one does

@yogifpv839 Год назад

I dont know how I got recommended this but for some reason i watched the whole thing. I'm not into old fashion camera?? But it got my attention.

@ribsy Год назад

Thanks for watching 😀

@toulcaz31 Год назад

With the experience they accumulated, they seem to be only few design steps away to offer self assembly for their cameras (concept they praise Prusa for in their video moreover). I am surprised they don't consider this given their budget positioning.

@ribsy Год назад

Yea that could be interesting

@MARKLINMAN1 Год назад

Dude i am from the Bronx and work in RIVERDALE, would be cool to get together and go shooting, i shoot with an M6 and A Hassy 501cm, My next purchase will be an INTREPID for sure, this is an AWESOME video, Thank You for this.

@xander1052 Год назад

Just wondering, is there actually any labs that will develop LF film or when getting into LF is it pretty much a requirement to do home development?

@Kitsaplorax Год назад

Yes. Portland has a lab that does 4x5. They also sell typewriters and film.

@andrewthompson5609 Год назад

hey, it's not the out of house manufacturing that worries us, as consumers, its the ROBOTICS, INcluding the cnc and 3D printing, as NO person does it with their own hands, like old school woodworking, blacksmithing, etc. these robots and computer guided machines take our JOBS, as only 1 is required to design, and 1 to load the input and take from the output of these machines,which is why it is soo sad, and the reason for such a High unemployment rate in the world today.
