Well now how did that get there?? A brand new Intrepid 4x5 mk IV seems to have magically appeared in my camera bag. I just cannot figure out...

Ok you get the picture. I bought an Intrepid 4x5 camera. And I LOVE it! This is only my second large format camera, my first is a Toyo 45 monorail camera. So I was looking for something that I could actually carry around with me. And the Intrepid is low cost and crazy portable. It's lightweight and it folds down to a tiny size. As you'll see in the video, my whole kit fits in two small bags, and one of those is the tripod. Amazing.

If you've been watching for a while then you'll know that I don't have masses of experience in large format photography. But the great news is that now I have this Intrepid camera, I'll be getting out and shooting 4x5 a whole lot more.

Check out intrepidcamera.co.uk ... also check them out on YouTube - Intrepid Camera Co.

Lead time on the website is 8 weeks at the moment I think, but mine arrived in about 3.

I've just realised I don't mention it in the video, but all the shots are on FP4 in this one.
