Re: Friday 13th from HELL!!!!!

Its unlikey that any regional shop deals directly with Fuji though, more likely they deal with "fuji uk" which is just an importer/distributor.

Re: Friday 13th from HELL!!!!!

I'd wait to hear that from a more concrete source personally. I've lost count of the number of times velvia has been announced as "discontinued" on various forums.

Re: WTB: Light(ish) ballhead for 4x5

It turns out the old style arca heads are pretty heavy, so I'm still looking.

WTB: Light(ish) ballhead for 4x5

Afternoon all I'm on the lookout for a decent ballhead for my second lighter tripod for use with a light 4x5 further from the car (or digital/travel). I'm after something with an arca type clamp (or a 3/8" stud to put my existing clamp on), its got to have friction control, nice and solid, and weigh...

Free - Lightbox in aluminium flightcase!

I can't bear to take this to the tip, so for anyone who wants to look quite the man about town then this is for you: http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d175/beardownproductions/Dave/lightcase.jpg Obviously this is a fair size, 20"x14"x7" (those slides in the picture are 6x7s!) so you'll have to come ...

Re: Polarising filter - coated or non coated?

If you can fit the lee ring inside the hood you should be ok, but like you say screwing it in might be fiddly. When i used to use a cokin p-size system i did the trick of puttting a smaller polariser on the lens before the filter holder/ring, but this is also a bit of a pain. If you can do without a...

Re: Polarising filter - coated or non coated?

i wouldn't worry about the coating, my B&W 105mm polariser is uncoated, no problems. It would be quite unusual to shoot into-the-light with a polariser anyway. Uneven sky tone with wide lenses with a polariser is par for the course unless you avoid it. Its not likely to be an easy fix in post, so if...

Re: Small lightproof bag

An old small changing bag should do the trick, and one of the arm holes would let you reach in to pull the darkslide.

Shooting FP4+ and/or Delta for scanning

Quick question for people more experienced at shooting monochrome than I (which is most of you): when shooting FP4+ (or Delta 100) for scanning on a consumer flatbed (in my case a 4990) where would you tend to place the darkest shadow and brightest highlight zones to maintain an easy scan with norma...

Re: Sergels Torg. Stockholm, Sweden.

I don't know if its just me but something bothers me when viewing this, and I think its because its a couple of degrees of being perfectly vertical - I think it needs rotating clockwise ever so slightly. Other than that its great!
