There's been quite a lengthy discussion on the subject on APUG. Simon Galley from Ilford has stated a few times that the product range will remain unchanged and whilst there is some scepticism there is also a very optimistic outlook. One thing that venture will enable is a stronger purchasing power ...

Hello again - Reintroducing myself
Hello all. My name is Lee Turner and I'm based in the Rossendale Valley in Lancashire. I initially joined lf-photo last year but the past 9 months have been somewhat chaotic so I've been away from the scene for a while. I shoot multi format and predominantly b&w neg. The LF gear I currently own is a...

Joanna, Heptonstall is really an undiscovered little jewel. There are plenty of other sites around this area including Hardcastle Crags, which has a nice old mill, and another great old village called Mankinholes. My well trained nose sniffed out two tea rooms in Heptonstall before I even found the ...

Joanna, I "discovered" Heptonstall a couple of months ago after driving past the turning every day for 18 months. It's a relatively untouched village with the most incredible ruined church. The church dates back to the 13th century and there are a reputed 100,000 bodies buried in the grounds includi...

I think I'm going to wander up to Heptonstall this weekend to photograph the ruined church and if conditions are too bad then retreat to the nearest hostelry :) Joanna, the flame flower device was being used in South Africa. Eventually they banned it. At traffic lights there is quite a nuisance with...

I actually don't mind stormy weather that has drama in the sky as there are some great old buildings around here that would be perfectly matched. It's this monotone grey that's frustrating. Joanna, I lived in Zimbabwe and South Africa before coming back to the UK. Johannesburg is not the best city t...

Lee, Thanks for your interesting message,.....I see you are in the N.W.....How much are you paying for good drum scans, if I might ask? Thanks again both. Bobbo, the guy charges £10 for a high res LF scan, up to a 8x10 neg. I had a look at some of his scans the other day and they 4x5's are quite st...

There's lots to do and not many "grotty months" to do it all in! I'll swap for where you live. Everywhere on TV looked sunny today, the football at the Arsenal ground, Southport air show, just about everywhere except our locale :? No wonder they processed cotton around this part of the country as i...

What do you do in the 10 months of grotty weather?
OK, 10 months may be a slight exadgeration but yet again it's weekend, Lancashire and it's pouring down again. I haven't seen that strange round light in the sky for a couple of weeks now. Nights are not too bad as that's my time for darkroom work but just wondering what you busy yourself with photo...

I bit the bullet and have used Ilford since starting to use LF. It's a bit more expensive but at least I have the consistency and availability needed to learn the characteristics of a particular film. I've used outdated film and paper before now but I couldn't work out if problems were down to me or...
