Re: Metering, what's gone wrong?

Hi Paul, You might want to try using a couple of different spotmeters. I found metering much easier when I switched to a Pentax digital spotmeter - for me it was just so simple to use! But I suspect there is an element of what is right for one person is not right for another. I'm happy to lend you m...

Re: Metering, what's gone wrong?

Have you checked the accuracy of your spotmeter in case the problem is with the meter? Do you have a way of checking it against another meter?

Just a thought,

Jenny

Re: Penumbra

That's very sad. I bought a number of items from MXV and was sorry when they closed down. They were always very helpful when I spoke to them on the phone.

Re: WTB: 35mm slide scanner

I know my sanity will be challenged with this task, so the ease of scanning is important, and it would be helpful if the output is a decent quality and won't need too much (any!) work in photoshop afterwards. It would be nice to think I could buy a scanner, get the job done, and then pass on the sca...

Re: WTB: 35mm slide scanner

Thanks Daniel. I should probably have made myself clearer as I do have an Epson scanner, but with a large number of 35mm slides to scan I think it will be a mammoth task to load/unload them into the flatbed holder for scanning. So I am looking out for a more dedicated 35mm scanner which might (hopef...

WTB: 35mm slide scanner

I have a large number of 35mm slides I would like to scan and wondered if anyone has a decent scanner they would be willing to part with. I would prefer the ability to do MF as well, but this is not essential.

Many thanks.

Re: FS: 90mm, 135mm, 210mm lenses

Hi Mat,

If you let me have your email address I will send you some images. I don't know if the Wista/Linhof sized boards fit a Horseman 5x4 or not, but I'm sure someone will know.

All the best,

This Wilkinson tempering unit is essentially a 25L water bath which plumbs to a tap, has a heating element in the bottom, and holds six 1L bottles which can be heated to and held at your desired temperature, regulated by a thermostat. The metal bodywork is in excellent condition. Although I have not...

Re: Fuzzy focusing

Sometimes it helps to unzip it partially to allow the air to flow a bit. Usually it is still dark enough to compose.

Good luck,

FS: 90mm, 135mm, 210mm lenses

When we moved to Italy last year I left a small kit of three lenses in the UK to save transporting my whole LF kit back and forwards when travelling with the boys. Now we are based in the UK I no longer need these lenses as they are essentially duplicates and I am therefore offering them for sale. T...

Re: Fujnon W 150mm f5.6

I've used a number of different Fuji lenses and they have all been very sharp. I don't know what it might be, but it sounds to me as though you have a problem somewhere..... What was the description of the lens when you bought it? Can you get back to the person you bought it off? All the best, Jenny

Re: Hi from North Wiltshire

Hi Joe,

Welcome to the forum although it feels as though you have been around for a while! Digital to LF is a pretty big step! Look forward to meeting up soon. Keep up with your great work in the woods - I've enjoyed your images immensely.

Cheers,

Jenny
