    anything I can do to minimize even further by replacing the soft box with something even smaller? I'd like everything to fit into a small shoulder bag.

    You could go without the soft box and just work with hard light or try to find sources to bounce the flash off of. If you have some help maybe have someone bounce the flash into a small foldable reflector?

    Photos are not bad. I was wondering how your photos look like there was lots of sun but the accompanying video showed no sun at all and very dark. Did you fix them in post? Do you take your film to The Find lab in Utah to be developed? Always use a tripod with Bulb mode.

    That's fantastic, what a cool find! I've been dipping back in to film photography again lately, and it really is a totally different experience. Mostly 35mm stuff, some old Minolta gear, Ricoh, and a weird little 110 camera, I'm about halfway through a roll of that. But a couple weeks ago, I found a "Tower Model 7" fixed focus 120 film box camera, for 7 bucks! It seems to be fully functional, and I'll likely pick up some film and do some messing about soon! What a lovely experience film photography is. Anyways, Great video! I just LOVE the size of that second one! I look forward to seeing more!

    Nice video! I've been thinking of doing something similar with my GRIIIx. I have the optional adapter that brings it to 75mm equivalent, so I'm thinking I can even do some traditional portraiture. I realized my Godox triggers will work with Ricoh in manual mode. So, small camera, lens adapter, small flash for OCF (runs on two AA batteries), small trigger, and a compact tripod/light stand. Didn't get a chance to try the kit yet, but I'm hoping!

    Great video! I’m a minimalist too, I don’t have those accessories that do not contribute to a better photo with exception of a NiSi in front. My gear is just the x100vi, wrist strap (artisan and artist paracord) and the godox 350F since the built in flash causes red eye and doesn’t reload fast enough. I either use a Patagonia 3L dirt roamer waist pack or the Temba 4 skyline v3 4 pouch.

    Your results were wonderful. I started shooting film a few years ago and often take a digital and film camera out together. I have a Leica M5 and am always more excited to see the results from it much more than the digital RAWs. I don't know if it's the anticipation or the feeling that' if the image is good that I had more of a roll in it (pun here). Enjoy your film journey and I am sure the cameras are enjoying being out in the light again!

    This is great. I LOVE old cameras and inherited a collection of cameras ranging from old folders to an RB67. The oldest camera was made around 1911 and i cleaned it up and ran a roll of 120 through it using adapters. Turned out great. Dont shy away from the really old ones. I replaced light seals in a few of them. If you really want to use an old camera forget the tape. Replace the seals. If i can do it anyone can. KZread university will show you how and you can buy or make the seals. Looking forward to seeing your continued adventures.

There's a 3x4 Graflex that I can't get the rear rolling shutter to work on. I'll keep trying because it has a medium format film back I can use instead of sheet film. I could put Instax mini in it if the shutter worked. There's one medium format British (Rolleiflex copy) TLR that's now so rare I've not been able to find another for sale, and it works perfectly.
