Re: French MF/LF galerie-photo conf., Perpignan Oct 15-17, 2

Has anybody heard from Emmanuel Bigler this year ref. any French workshops in 2011? I have emailed him twice in the last few weeks but have not had any response. Does anybody know if he has changed his email ?

C41 in E6 in error

Has anybody got a rescue to the above. 10 5 x 4 negs. went through wrong process.
Is there a Photoshop fix anybody knows or similar?
Probably not but worth asking.

Re: French MF/LF galerie-photo conf., Perpignan Oct 15-17, 2

I still intend to go but may cross from Poole to Cherbourg as per the last time we visited France. Its a much longer crossing (4,5 hours) and my wife was not to keen on it so suggested Dover. However Dover is several hours drive from Salisbury so I may prevail and use Poole. However thanks for the r...

Emmanuel

I think it mught be more fun seeing you try to align 3 projectors!!

I checked with my sat.nav. and Perpignon is over a 1200 mile journey going via Dover so I must leave several days in advance of the start date and take a leisurley run down.

All the best

Scanner for 5 x 4 negatives

I recently had to pay £53 for a 70Mg scan of a 5 x 4 colour negative on a drum scanner. This on top of having to train into London-more expense-as no-one around Salisbury could offer such a service. I would like to investigate obtaining a decent flatbed (drum I believe would be seriously expensive) ...

Meet for coffee/chat/whatever

Since moving to Salisbury 3 years ago I find that there are only camera clubs in the area.
I would welcome meeting up with any UKLFormatters for coffee/chat/print critique/whatever.
Anyone in the general area interested.
Could meet at my place or whereever to suit.

Re: Recommend me a printing company.....but not Peak

I use BPD Photech in Warrington also.
Never had a problem.
I send then 5 x 4 colour negs. for development and printing. They now scan negs. and print from those files. Also send a CD with scanned files on.
I understand that both Joe Cornish and Charlie Waite use them.

Wide angle lense

I would appreciate any comments on the merits of the 75mm Grandagon N against the 80mm Super Symmer XL as I am contemplating purchasing one or the other and there is little difference in price but a lot in weight.

Will try to make it for some of the time. May need a radiation suit if Bradwell Nuclear power station keeps chucking out radiation as it has done for last 14 years. See national news lately.
