LOL.. I was born in Sheffield ( and proud of it ) although lived in Birmingham for all but a few months.

How would I go about getting hold of one Joanna? Be nice if I could get one for £135 without P&P given I liv...

I've just got off the phone with Camera Bellows, and they have said I can sell their 4x5 camera kits with 10% discount.

Also has ...

Gah typical!!!!

Thanks for the welcome Paul.. Paul and um PAUL!!!

Hi all, Just a quick hello, I'm a student at Wolverhampton University and doing some Film Modules. Recently borrowed a Uni Horseman for a project (my first delve into LF world) and loved it so looking to get my own LF if I can find one for sale in my meagre budget that has a respectable degree of mo...
