Hi, There's no access unless your a member?

Can you pass on the contact details?

Thanks

Tony

I'm selling a couple of large format enlargers, I've just posted the first, a Durst laborator 138s on ebay, but also have an old Kodak which will print from 7x5 down to medium format. I can post further details is there is any interest?

I’m planning to attend for the weekend, have you decided on a meeting place and has anyone booked up a hotel / can anyone recommend one?

Hi Dave

I use the light proof bags that darkroom paper comes in to hold the slides I need in my rucksack and then have other batches loaded in bags and keep them in a rigid electric cooler box in the car. I've used plastic containers in the past but find them bulky to carry around.

Thanks for all the input guys I picked up the following from the Large format link.... "What B&H is probably doing is taking advantage of Kodak's "minimum order" policy where Kodak will cut any filmmanufactured to any size requested with a minimum order (to them) of $10,000 from an established deale...

I thought I'd best get film ordered for my Iceland trip...4 weeks to go. I ordered the B&W from Silverprint then rang B&H in New York for 7 x 5 colour neg, (where I'd bought it before) the chap said yes no problem sir...the mimimum order is now 60 boxes, that will be $11,217.00, do you wish to proce...

I’ve been using the medium format film holder from Doug Fisher (Better Scanning), for about a year now. I originally bought it for using on a 6 x 14 format but use it regularly for 67 and it works fine. (I have the V750pro) I made my own 7x5 and 10x8 format film holders from card and x-ray film (thi...

After a lot of deliberation I decided to take the plunge and look at a Shen Hao 7x5 field camera. I rang Robert Whites and arranged to go down and try out the FCL57A. The specification suggested the minimum bellows extension was 90mm, but I was hoping my 72XL on a sunken panel would fit and focus at...

Hmmm.. 10 x 8 might not be the best thing for portraits, the standard lens would be 360 to 450mm or longer (not as long as you would think given the format). This will give you problems with depth of field unless you have some powerful flash or would be happy with the very shallow depth of sharp foc...

Hi, Im not taking E6 work but procesing is about £5.65 a sheet.

I have been using print film, C41 and scanning and printing, the cost to buy is 61.53 for 10 sheets from Silverprint and £5.75 / sheet to process.

Thanks Leon, I'll check them out.

I'll be going down to shoot the coast on large format and may well see you at Whitby, Saltwick, Ravenscar, Filey Brigg, or Flamborough Head? We're staying in Saltburn Friday to Sunday...I'll lookout for other folk hiding under dark cloths. BTW The chemical works at Redcar makes a fantstic large form...

I usually make Robert White my first port of call when buying film but regularly find they don’t have it in stock and I buy form Silverprint…colour (Fuji print film) & B&W (HP5+ & FP4)…but both provide and excellent service. I develop my own B&W in deep tanks (having problems with streaking at the m...

An interesting camera George...I've asked the weight, it's not what I had in mind but it might be ideal for traveling. It was apparently made by Wista

Thanks for the advice, as Barry says, I could do with using one or at least having a good try out in one of the shops. I do already use 7x5 regularly, I have a couple of monorails, a Linhof Kardan Colour and a Sinar Norma with about 30 fidelity double dark slides. I had not realised they had stopped...
