I was talking to someone on the Teamwork stand at Focus Sunday gone with a view to buying a set of Hitech grads. Having read comments made here on the forum they sound like a good middle ground between Cokins technicolour ND system and the Lee stuff so I thought it sounded like the kit for me. Howev...

I'll be popping down on Sunday for my first visit.
I have a shopping list, hopefully I'll be able to do some damage to it on the day.

Strange, I have no problem viewing the pics.
My brother has a Flickr site so I've asked him to put the pics there and see if that works.

Sorry about the false start, normal running shall be resumes presently....

The first 2 on my own camera, and only the 5th and 6th shots I've ever taken on a 5x4. Embleton Bay, Sunday just gone around 8.30am. I think both shots were 2 sec @ f22 on Provia 100F. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2160/2215866907_6f31ea1d26_b.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2154/2215866911_0e09...

Well, I made my first 2 exposures on Sunday. Up early to Embleton Bay, set up, and wait for the sunrise that never happened. Still, there was some nice light and good reflections of Dunstanburgh so I fired the shutter anyway. I was a little nervous about using the quickload film and the Polaroid 545...

I was given an enlarger last night oddly enough. Sadly not a 5x4, as far as I can tell it's for 35mm and 6x6. I've never done any darkroom work before, and as such know nothing about the equipment. The enlarger head is a Dunco Modell II-66 SW. The stand / base is De Vere and is probably just over a ...

I've booked my place, so I'll see you there.

Paul, it may have been my thread you were following regarding lens choice. I ended up with a used Rodenstock Grandagon N 90mm F6.8 bought from Ffordes. I can't comment on the performance of the lens as I have yet to use it, but I can recommend Ffordes. The lens was in better condition than described...

Thanks for your comments, I can't wait to start using the lens.
I haven't had chance over the Christmas break to use it sadly, but hopefully I'll get some free time (and a break in this awful weather) in the next few weeks.

Chris.

I'll second the suggestion of Newcastle.
Nothing to do with the fact that I live there...

Anywhere would be great, but depending on the timing I'm likely to be away with work for a chunk of March.

Thanks for all the replies, a Polaroid 545 should be winging its way to me as I type this.

Cheers,

Chris.

Further to this thread ( http://www.lf-photo.org.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=340&highlight=readyload ) relating to Kodak Readyload and Fuji Quickload films and holders, has anyone other than Robert White tried using the Fuji films in the Kodak back? On the review of films and holders on the old Robert ...

In the end I went with the Rodenstock 90mm F6.8 Grandagon N.
A combination of the size / weight of the lens, coverage, and the age of the lens made my choice for me.

Thanks for all the posts, much obliged.

Does anyone here have any experience of either the Rodenstock Grandagon N 90mm F6.8 or the Schneider Super Angulon (NOT the XL) 90mm F5.6.
The larger image circle and brighter image of the faster lens would appeal.

Money no object, which would be your choice?
