Is that not plus VAT Joanna, or is there a special deal still available?

You're not Portugese are you Paul? :) The seller has now replied as follows: As this camera is designed for wide angle lens use, the maximum bellows extention is 135mm, the maximum focal lengths is probably 150mm, If you would like to use a 210mm lens, it might be possible with a 452 extension back,...

Thanks for the info. The seller doesn't seem keen to offer much more detail on things like usable lens lengths, so I'm guessing it might be even less than the 180 or so that the SW and RSW can take. Thanks again, Peter

Ebony question for you experts

I looked at an SW in Ffordes a few weeks back and there is one on eBay starting at £1500 with no bids which looks like the one I saw and like the one on Robert White's website. There is another one, however, that claims to be a "limited edition" SW or Superwide, and it looks quite different, especia...

I have a Grossen spotmaster about to go onto Ebay, lovely meter, a bit odd with it's controls, also supports zone metering, but eat's batteries. No off switch, it just goes to sleep (still drains the battery though, Grossen say it's normal)! Rob. Ah, so it's not just mine that eats batteries then? :(

Re: WLB 5x7

Given up trying to find a 10x8. Might be a bit big to handle anyway, so am thinking of 5x7. Anyone have a really good condition one for sale - Gandolfi original or similar? Thanks. In case you haven't seen it, there is a 5x7 Gandolfi Traditional on the auction site as we speak. It also has a 5x4 re...

Well there is someone else who shares your indulgence as a Korona 7x17 (with lens) has just popped up on eBay. Currently a bargain at £0.99, since the dozen sheets of ood film are worth more than that. :lol:

This thread just prompted me to go to the Morco site to check out Beattie prices for comparison. I noticed that they have reductions on their 5x4 gridded screens for Sinar, Arca, Horseman and Deardorf only, and they're selling them at £170 if anyone is interested. http://www.morco.uk.com/latest/beat...

I'm kind of with you keeds, but only because I just bought davejt3's wholeplate (6-1/2 x 8-1/2) Kodak camera. The Silverprint website (below) has the prices, and they're maybe just a little bit scarier than I thought they might be, especially after you add the VAT. I'm pretty sure I'll be in for som...

You're quite correct Edwin, it isn't listed. Strangely enough though, checking out the completed listings brought the information that it had not only finished earlier today without a bid, but it has now apparently been relisted here.

Charles, a couple of points/views. Q1 - Heliopan get a good reputation and I seem to recall Speedgraphic saying they were better than B&W Q2 - Centre filters are listed by both Teamwork and Robert White, but under the Rodenstock and Schneider brand names, e.g. http://www.robertwhite.co.uk/product.as...

You might well be right Paul, but the starting price on both the Shen Haos appears to be their full retail price. I could maybe understand it if it was a Buy It Now price, but seems a strange way to do business. :?

Does anyone know who the zero-rated seller uk topstock is? They are selling new Shen Hao, Sinar & Fotoman cameras and are supposed to be in Middlesex? Not sure any of these would be classed as a bargain,mind!
