Hi Marc. A point or two to add - CF tripods can be nice but be wary of loading them in ways they weren't designed to take, i.e. crushing the legs sideways or getting nicks in the material (stress raisers / failure points.) As Marc said, manufacturers are looking at weave patterns to help with these ...

Oh well beans on toast for the next year, all donations accepted. :) Just wait until you see the price of quickload film if you want to go that way... :shock: :wink: It sounds like you've got a well tried method for the salt water :mrgreen: They say it's possible to put the wooden tripod legs in sa...

Before I switched to the Berlebach tripod legs, I used an 055CLB with the 410 geared head - no complaints and a great general tripod - easy and quick to set up / take down and plenty strong enough for the 45SU. I eventually wrapped the legs with handlebar tape to give them a bit more grip / soften t...

I'm thinking I might need the extension back for macrophotography with a Schneider 80/120mm Makro Symmar HM or if I ever decide to use anything longer than my 300mm/f9 Nikkor.... Hi Thingy, For what magnification range is the macro lens optimised? According to the specifications, the standard SU be...

unless it's as buze says and the lens doesn't fit together properly due to the lens panel stopping something seating (you could check this with another lens if you've got one by unscrewing the rear element group by a turn or two and looking to see the effect on the ground glass), I think that having...

Can't really remember that much as it was a day trip or two when we stayed in Weymouth years ago (well before LF) but there's the Cobb at Lyme Regis but it can get a tad breezy stood on top - all you want is someone dressed like the French Lieutenant's Woman (cheesy but a good shot in the film if yo...

As far as I remember, Ian Biggar used to do a bit of painting photography in a "previous life" so it might be worth dropping him a PM but he hasn't posted much recently... I'd heard of using polarised light sources and one on the lens for getting rid of reflections on metallic objects but I haven't ...

The Studio Workshop used to have a repair / service place when they were distributors for Sinar but that's going back a few years and here's been various importers since them. If the search mentioned above comes to nothing, you could always try the latest distributor as per the Sinar website: Image ...

HI James - welcome to the crowd. If you're in Walsall, have you managed to see the Ansel Adams exhibition at the New Art Gallery yet? There's some fine prints. Some well known and some not so. At least they look better "in person" than in quite a few books. If you're into his type of picture, it's n...

Hi Bob, If you want the ultimate (or probably the lost expensive) then there's the Ebony 6x17 camera will all the movements. As I guess you know, Linhof, Horseman and Fuji make them in that format with varying prices / niceties. I know of a few people on here who've used a Fuji 617 with varying amou...

I'll second Joanna's suggestion - the tracking info provided by USPS / Parcelforce I've found to be next to useless (as opposed to the UPS which is updated regularly and very comprehensive.) Yes, you'll wait a bt longer and not really know when it's turning up but there's a chance that they may forg...
