Re: WTB:Heavy duty tripod

Hi Marc, I have a Gitzo 2227 (explorer, CF, 3 leg section) sitting unused in my cupboard - I've used it successfully for 5X4. Not sure if it fits your needs, but e-mail me at Henry@jhdove.demon.co.uk if you're interested. It cost about £400 when new, but I'm open to reasonable offers! And a heavy Be...

Nigels, For trannies, maybe, but even then I shoot "a" and "b" so that I can correct development if I've made a mistake with exposure (rarely more than 1/2 or 1/3 stop, but that's what good labs are for - a quick plug for Metro!!). Marking DDSs as described in 'Way Beyond Monochrome' allows you to a...

Horseman, Tombo asked the same question, and sent me an e-mail - unfortunately, it's been a while since I've been on the forum. However the method comes from Way Beyond Monochrome pp279-280, and I hope the following makes sense! "As I say, the idea comes from 'Way Beyond Monochrome' (available from ...

Hi Apologies for coming in so late on this topic... I use a second-hand Horseman 612, and find it works well, well once you've sussed how to load the film - I knew that hole in the pressure plate was there for a reason, just didn't know the reason! Doh! I like it with my 65mm too, which now has more...

Once again, sorry to be so late for joining in on this one. After losing Joe's Basement and then CETA, I've had to hunt for a new lab. If you're ever within stiking distance of London, then I can strongly recommend using Metro Imaging - several branches around London and a website (www.metroimaging....

Sorry to come in so late on this topic, but on my Ebony 45SU I've used the generic black/red cloth (too heavy and hot in all conditions), the Ebony lightweight one (not bad, but too hot for me in summer) and the lightweight BlackJacket hybrid (by far the best, but can still get hot in summer) and I'...

DJ, I've adapted my DDSs by putting dymo numbers on the white chinagraph line, and a corresponding binary code cut into the fold out lip which matches up with a ruler with a binary decoder - the idea isn't mine, I took it from 'Way Beyond Monochrome' and it works fine - now I can match my negs/trann...

Stu, Many thanks for the offer, and I'll certainly be in touch when I next visit the Isle of Wight.

Andrew and Charles, many thanks for the welcome! I'm quite happy to be wrong with an Ebony, especially as it just looks like a work of art, which is more than can be said for some of my pics!

Hello from the Hampshire/Surrey border

I live in Farnborough, Hampshire and I am a returning user of 4x5 cameras, after learning how to use one during a couple of months working as a gopher in a London studio some 24 years ago before going to university. I have been using an Ebony RSW45 for about 3 years before upgrading last November to...
