I don’t talk about gear all that much, but this one goes out to you camera geeks and gearheads. So many of you have been asking about the array of cameras I’m shooting while living in NYC (and somewhat in line with yesterday’s post) we decided to whip up a quick Chase Jarvis TECH video to run you through them. Ten formats in all, from top of the line Nikons, to old Polaroids, even some vintage stuff from the 1950’s. Check it.
[And, as you might imagine, I’m burning through a bunch film while I’m experimenting with all these toys during Dasein: Invitation To Hang. As such I want to say huge thanks to B&H, Polaroid, Fuji, and the Impossible Project for backing me with film for this adventure. You can pickup any/all the tasty films I mention in the vid here from B&H, except for The Impossible Project stuff, which is best to get here…and, update, is made in the Netherlands, correction from what I said in the vid 😉 ]
I feel it’s not comfortable for me to mix film and digital, I think you can youe a FX, DX and Hassy H4Ds and get pretty much everything.
Is that the new 50 1.8 you have on the d7000?
old.
Wow! That is amazing. I haven’t seen most of those cameras in years!
I had my annual one week in New York in April with: my beloved D300 (with a 50mm f/1.4 and a 14-24mm 2.8- rented at adorama), a Rolleiflex 2.8F, a Polaroid 600SE and a Polaroid SX70. One camer
one camera at a time. lots of fun especially with the monster that is the Polaroid 600SE.
i’m currently trying to shoot the 600SE as a street photography camera. damn near impossible, but i’m really digging putting effort into it…
You go, girl. I’m right there with you! I have a Nikon D90 and an old Rolleiflex TLR 3.5 Which is 50 years old, like me! I also have various others.
TOTALLY AGREE WITH hs
”’love your enthusiasm Chase, got to, you’re inspiring.
BUT::::
you’re burning through all kinds of disposables… polaroids, backing papers, chemicals down the drain at labs, all into the landfill and new york harbor.
that part’s not so cool.
on the other hand, if it’s not that it’s toxic metals etc in all the electronics it takes to make digital products.
chase, baby, are we doomed?”’
…. but I always feel like there is just so much more film can do that digital can’t (as far as getting more light in or great blur)
… if i had a choice, for carrying purposes: D3, OG Polaroid 600 (preferably SX-70) or the Image1200, and the Hass is the way to go!!
