The first batch of 1Gen INTREPID 4Xcamera has shippe with one received here. Took about weeks from order. Just unboxed and it is impressively lightweight, yet both sturdy and fragile. It weighs Lbs on my scale.
The footprint of the camera is larger than the intrepid , it is quite a bit much wider and deeper, the folded camera is a bit thicker, while the weight is similar. It is, in essence, a great ‘learning’ camera : affordable, light and straightforward to use. I write this review as an experienced photographer, especially a 35mm one.
Come join the discussion about performance, modifications, specs, parts, classifieds. We worked on this project for a year or so and it eventually turned itself into the final year of my degree. Whilst being super lightweight (at kg), and fast to set up, it is also incredibly hardwearing and reliable, producing great no matter the conditions.
There are also press cameras which sort-of fall into this category. Intrepid 4xMK£280. Although the sentiment behind the camera was admirable, I found it lacking in finish and functionality. While the 8xis designed to take our 8xlens boards or most Sinar style boards (140mm x 140mm).
Best possible movement capability in this category of camera (fiel light weight, affordable) including with wide angle (75mm is what I am looking at, maybe wider at some point). Ground glass is clean, bellows light tight. Camera in great shape. I added velcro around the back for a dark cloth, and some tapes on the front standard to improve stability - all can be removed with a bit of heat.
Nikon Nikkor 75mm f4. Glass has a 1mm long coating fleck on the front. I took it out once to take a few pictures, but it has otherwise been on the shelf. He ordered his camera after me. Thus, hearing of the release of the updated camera I ordered a black-bellowed camera plus the Sinar-Linhof adaptor board and waited…and waited.
I actually purchased this as the mk then upgraded with the new focus system. Included in the package are both focus beds. I prefer the newer focusing mechanism better, but if you need rear swings, then you can easily switch them. After seeing the work of Nick Carver with his Shen Hao 6xI came across a so called Da Yi back, which allows 6xpanoramas on 120mm roll film on any 4xcamera that has a Graflok system.
I caught up with Max at the Photography Show in April and commandeered (temporarily!) part of his setup for my Chroma ;0) The latest bed design using aluminium is excellent, and something I’d like to work towards with future Chroma cameras. Let’s break down that staggeringly low price point a bit further. This camera costs less than fifty sheets of 8xKodak Portra 1, the very film it is designed to shoot.

This hadn’t been part of the plan, and required a fair bit of consideration on the part of Max and his team. You can’t just size up from 5x4in,’ he explains. You have to start from scratch again.
