I recently sold a Shen Hao TZ45IIa for £499 and a FCL810a for £1499 through Ffordes. Both sold within days of appearing on their website. The 5x4 has been replaced with a Chamonix 045n which I consider to be better suited to the wide angle lenses that I prefer to use as well as coping well with thos...

How many do you want?

I wish you all the best on what seems to me to be a formidable undertaking by the sound of it. I too miss the service that Retro once promised but never quite lived up too.

Welcome Laurence.

I know all about the "voices". They keep telling me to hit the bid button on ebay.

Thanks Barry, that makes sense, especially from the temperature control point of view; I doubt cooked film will give very good results. I have a small rigid cold box, 6 pack size, buried in my garage somewhere, I must find it and see if it's suitable. I am interested in the padded case though, maybe...

Good luck with that, I know how much work is involved in mounting such an event.

Yesterday I laboriously typed out a question and launched it into the ethernet, which then seems to have slipped into a black void of my own incompetence, :oops: so I shall try again and be rather more careful with regard to which key I hit last! I carry 6 dark slides in my backpack along with the c...

Thanks for the welcome Tim. Yes, I do have a website accesable above, but there's only one large format image posted on it.
I must get around to updating it.

I recently fell into this forum whilst doing a web search for a repair shop! Since all the usual suspects are already registered here I thought I should join too. For the half of you that have had the good fortune not to have met me before, a brief introduction is in order. Although born a Kentish M...
