Re: Gossen Lunasix 3s Zone system scale?

Hi Matthew

If you don't have the manual, have you tried a search on the 'net?

Try this one - there are quite few a few others - do a search on "Gossen Lunasix 3s manual"

Re: My first neg for years!

Hi Dave Yeah, that miniature 6x7 stuff 's just not the same... :wink: In a crowded area, with your 5x4 toy, your head in a black bag, peering at a ground glass trying to work out best focus / exposure / movement... while everybody peers at the "nutter under the blanket" :roll: ... now that's photogr...

Results from my Glen Etive trip...

Well, Peak Imaging came back with my 2 15x12's from my "underwater" photographic trip to the Glen 2 weeks ago :D My first tryout with Fuji 160S - I'm impressed. Only got 2 shots and it will need a return trip (or two / three etc) to get the best from the area I was in, but I definitely like the colo...

Re: Envelope System for Quickload, ReadyLoad, Polaroid Holders

Joanna This sounds like a great idea - any ideas when it's likely to develop? Anything to reduce the weight of those DDS's. Re' the dust - surely all anyone needs to do is prepare an extra envelope when loading film and put all the dust in that it? Simple really - another problem solved... :roll: Re...

Re: My first neg for years!

Good man Dave!! The first neg's are the worst - that's what they told me, anyway. Fooled me for a while, but I proved that wasn't necessarily the case :lol: . There's no doubt that Wales has lots to offer - I'm only judging by the work of others, I haven't had time to explore there with a camera - y...

Re: Meanwhile, back at the ranch...

Well, thanks for the sympathy :lol: Looks like I had my own personal cloud system - and there's me thinking I had a sunny disposition :roll: The weather never really matters in that area - it's always a joy to be in that range for me. I'm off to the USA for 2 weeks in September - if the forecast is ...

Meanwhile, back at the ranch...

Well, we went to Glen Etive last Sunday. Me and little "Eboneezer" - last time we were there I'd found a promising little area with a mini-promontory of river-eroded rock and a crystal clear little pool full of a rich brown underwater plant of some sort, contrasting beautifully with the granite and ...

Re: Another new member...

Hi Tim Little "Eboneezer" is having an outing on Sunday. Glen Etive looks like the favoured location - one or two spots are a work in progress (ie previous attempts have been c***!). At this time of year it's tempting to take a macro lens to get a couple of close-ups of the midges... :roll: Re' gett...

Re: First try with 160S

Hi Nigel Lovely shot - love the contrast of the static rock and moving water and the soft colours from the neg film. I've ordered 160S for my Arizona holiday in September - USA price varies from $67 to $78 - and that's for QL! :shock: Didn't seem any point in buying it here at £80+ - not to mention ...

Hi Joanna

The rain has stopped, a really bright light source has appeared from behind some clouds :D , I've just cleaned the kit. I'm off to try that focus exercise.

I'll get a PM to Gari to see if he's avaiable next weekend.

Thanks

Re: Another new member...

Wow - thanks for the welcome! Joanna - the Ebony came with a fresnel screen. The x7 magnification of the Horseman seems to show up the rings better than the subject. Better with the x4, but it's a Jessops made loupe for 35mm slides - I'd like to try something that covers a wider area of the screen. ...

Re: Another new member...

Thanks Nigel. Just did a quick check on your Flickr site - some of those beach shots are very very pretty!!! Is that sun in some of the shots? A rare occurrence in some the places I get to up here :lol: Looks like you've conquered the focusing thing... I'm still working my way through it :? - Horsem...

I've been snooping in and out for ages, finally decided to log in properly! Hi to all - I'm Eddie and I'm a filmaholic. There - I feel better already. I started in photography late 70's with a Zenith B - the bug bit. I earned extra pocket money by putting the bins out, doing the washing up, putting ...
