Keith, I realised your comments weren't a criticism of Sexton's images. My comment about maximum sharpness was because there are instances where it might be beneficial to have a background slightly out of focus. One of the major problems with LF work is ensuring good sharpness throughout an image, a...

Keith, assuming you mean "Geologic Conundrum, Banff" or "Bell Tower, Late Afternoon" then there is quite a depth to these images and stopping down to only f11 or f16 would not give sufficient depth of field. With "The Arena, Slickhorn Gulch, Utah" some back tilt was used to help bring the fore-groun...

I told you guys I have it but you don't wanna pay for it. I even put up a lot's of it to the UK ebay and nothing happened. The French, Italians, Germans Sweds and all others in Europe do buys it but not you! well there is Ilford isn't it? Perhaps you could tell us what you were selling, I buy from ...

Sorry to be a bore BUT I let the holiday season pass and tried Photoimpex again. The answer is NO. They claim that contractual obligations with Nigel at Retrophotographic will not allow them to export goods to England. As for Nigel, I think that he must have died and nobody can locate the body, cer...

The only problem us girls have with the BTZS one is that the velcro can attach itself quite firmly to long hair upon exiting from the cloth :shock: That's a very sexist statement :roll: what about us male ageing hippies :shock: In 30 years of using LF I've never bought a darkcloth, I much prefer to...

Be very wary buying from MrCad, their ideas of good and excellent condition aren't the same as other suppliers, like Robert White, Teamwork, and the others mentioned who are all highly reputable.

Have to agree with Joanne and add another UK name for second hand lenses, Peter Walnes. All the companies mentioned are excellent and can be highly recommended, they will all offer a guarantee with a S/H lens. There are plenty of LF lenses available but turnover is usually fast. If you want to buy n...

After one or two years using a Crown Graphic I feel its time to move up to a Linhof

So if anyone is selling one please let me know.

Oh yes I forgot to say it will take my Wista lensboards and make life much easier having 2 cameras taking the same lenses/boards.

That's not what they want here, it was one of the driest years on record

The only rain I saw from Dec 06 until Dec 07 was in the UK

Chris, like Dennis I have a Grandagon f6.8 90mm, you will find it to be a superb lens, I have no problem focussing mine on my Wista its a nice, reasonably bright, snappy lens to focus.

Ian

Have a good Christmas everyone, I'll think of you all enjoying yourselves

My wife got the dates wrong so has a hospital check-up tomorrow (Xmas day), it's not a holiday here.

Sometimes the lens sits on the pin Barry mentions, it should locate in a small cutaway/nick in the board. If this has happened a light jolt may shift the lens which is then not tightened to the board. Check it if there is a pin and no locator for it a small V notch with a file is all that's needed. ...

As I live in Plymouth, then Cornwall would be a very convenient choice for myself. I am hoping that this `Spring workshop` will be held during April. 8) Maybe we can have a mini get together when I'm passing through if theres not a full workshop, there's a one or two others on the Devon/Cornwall bo...

"Surely I would do better focusing on the main point of interest such and the large mass of rock which is the main subject? " Keith, I'm not sure why George suggested you focus at infinity. Like you were thinking I'd focus on the rock using a bit of tilt to bring the foreground into focus, this woul...

Just a little bit of front tilt to help bring the foreground into focus, then stop down to f32 or more.
