Four more names for you - Harry Cory Wright, Jem Southam, Andy Latham, Craig Joiner.

Then of course there's John Blakemore, and maybe Michael Collins (mainly urban and industrial landscapes)?

If that is the case Tim had better include the Guy family (http://www.vkguy.co.uk/) who must use more sheet film than the rest of us put together!

So are we talking quantity or quality here?

Hi Tim

Would you care to add my name to the list. I've been shooting slightly under 20 sheets/year, but am planning to shoot more LF now that I've sorted out a backpack I can actually carry the kit in.

Hi Dave,
Sorry, didn't register the 'colour' bit of your question! Just had a look at Fujifilm data sheets and they all appear to be highly damaging environmentally - especially in aquatic environments, which means preferably NOT emptying them down the toilet!

You should get a Health & Safety data sheet with any chemicals that you purchase which gives all the info on H&S issues including ecological considerations and safe disposal. Most people chuck them away without reading, but maybe that's not the best idea! You can pick up all the Ilford H&S data shee...

Hi Paul! That sounds absolutely fantastic. Unfortunately I haven't a hope of raising the money by August, so will have to pass on this one. Wish I hadn't read the itinerary

Hi Paul. Definitely interested if I can scrape together the dosh! and I'd even help with the cooking (though you may not be that desperate!!)

Forestry Commission colour ratings are quite variable in their accuracy. For Westonbirt I would say that visits from now through to late November will give plenty to photograph. Different species colour up at different times, so there's a sequence of photo opportunities. My advice is to get there as...

Hi Jo, what a bummer! I think Lee probably make more money out of us eejits that lose stuff than out of new purchases! I left a filter holder and 3 adapter rings somewhere on the Isle of Coll. Didn't discover them gone until I was on Tiree!

Lynne

I know this may sound a bit obvious......but why don't you phone up and ask them?!!

On the subject of scratched filters, the Lee filters guy said they can redip them if the scratches aren't too deep. Haven't pursued this yet, but he said to phone the factory to get details.

Hi Tim You don't know how much good you have done me! I have a 5D and have struggled to get anything that I consider really sharp, especially in landscapes. I use the 24-105 L series lens too and have to correct the chromatic aberration on practically every shot. Yet slap a 5x4 on the Epson and hey ...

I shall be going, but not sure which day yet. I'll keep my eyes peeled for any dodgy looking LFers - I'm sure I can recognise some of you!

My preferred option at the moment is for a second pair of hands to do my fiddly bits while I check sharpness.........
