Thanks Dave(s). I think I've got a few options there and should be able to get it sorted

Actually, it might be because I think that's exactly what I need. I've emailed calumet UK to see if they can supply one - might save on postage.

Thanks for your help.

No, I was being thick I thought I'd just slap the thing onto the lens but, of course, I need an adapter ring as well.

I'm not sure, but aren't these a bit too big - around 100mm or so?

I've just bought a 300mm f5.6 Caltar II-N lens (my god it's huge!) and it's come without a front lens cap. The outer face of the front barrel is about 90mm in diameter - anyone have a push-on type cap to suit or know here I could buy one?

Thanks for all your input. I think I've concluded that the shot is about right and making any subtle variations to the colour balance is a bit of a waste of time until I get my monitor properly calibrated to a printer. I will try and fix that wonky building though.

I'm struggling a bit with free time for the next month or so due to working away from home but I'm sure others will be interested and I'll come along if I can

Joanna, that's certainly something I'd be interested in a little bit further down the line but I think it's probably a bit to soon to start getting in too deep with digital side of things. Apart from a brief stint with an old MPP about 10 years ago, I essentially started LF photography (actually, an...

I did apply a graduated highlight recovery and colour correction (to bring back the blue) but I think my effort was obviously too subtle. On the original scan the sky is almost completely white. I think your version does have a little more impact so I'll give it go. After looking the image slightly ...

Thanks for the comments - I think you're spot on with what you've said. I also see the 'illusion' with the verticals on the tower - it jumped out at me when I first opened the scan. But, like you say, when checked against the grid in photohop the verticals are actually bang on. I did intend to give ...

Here's one of the first images taken with the Arca Swiss 4x5 bought from Dave on here. Comments welcome.



Arca Swiss F-Line. Caltar 90mm f6.8. Kodak Ektar. 9 Secs @ f22

I've just received an update from Robert White to say that my order for a 20 sheet box of Pro 160S has shipped - so it's definitively in the UK now and is probably available from other outlets as well.

OK, thanks for the tip.

OK, thanks. I've emailed Peak the same question and maybe they'll send me out a spare box if they want the sheets separated. Either that or I'll just have to send the B&W in after I get the colour ones back.

I've shot my first sheets in a mixture of Ektar and Delta 100 but only have 1 spare box in which to send them to them lab. Will they (peak Imaging) just sort them out at their end using the indentations to work out which is which or do you all ship B&W and colour in separate boxes?
