Re: Hello Everyone

Welcome to the forum Graham. I think we can all relate to fumbling about as teenagers... sometimes not involving film either :wink:

You made a great choice having Tim and Dav show you the ropes, two people who I respect and admire.

Re: Which Dark Cloth?

My wife likes sewing, so I could ask her if she wouldn't mind doing something similar for me.

Re: Matting and Framing standards?

I can't recall there ever being a standard, I suppose in the past it used to be based on B&W print sizes, 10x8, 12x16 etc. I do know that the standard mat size for photographic club competitions is 40x50cm. You only just have to look at Nielsen frames catalogue for the myriad of frame sizes on offer...

Re: 120 film wanted

Hi Liam I have 7 rolls of very old Tri-X you can have. It's dated 1989, have tried a couple of rolls and there are some signs of base fogging but seem to scan OK. I also have 4 rolls of 2009 Fuji Reala 100 that you can have. I don't want anything for them except postage costs, PM me your details if ...

Re: Dry mounting

Unless they've specifically specified 'dry mounted' I think mounting in a bevel cut window mount should suffice, at least that's my experience of recent exhibitions.
