I never found the MPP to be too heavy, but then I'm a big bloke.

Keep a lookout for MPP Mk 7 or Mk 8 as well.

Rigging the market would imply collaboration between sellers :evil: - can't see that happening on ebay. Setting market expectations is another thing - again caveat emptor! It needs someone to go into competition with him - watch the prices fall then... :twisted: And if he wants buy loads of stock an...

Caveat emptor. If people will pay the prices he is asking, that'ts their lookout. They don't have to buy from him but they seem to be satisfied - look at the 99% rating. Just goes to prove that market forces don't work for rare or specialist items! Another example - 35mm N back for Bronica ETRSi - L...

And the same from me.

Checked the classifieds here today (30/12)?

Hi Joanna, Glad you got most of your files back and thanks for the tips. I don't rely on DVDs for the active files, and my main files are backed up on an off-line drive, so effectively I have 3 copies - 1 fallback set (the DVDs), a main drive (on the PC) and an off-line drive (the backup). I will al...

Comiserations and good luck Joanna. During the Millenium changeover in BT I once had my entire filing system (3 years work) trashed by the engineer doing the upgrade. Being a sceptical s*d, I had already backed up most data but still lost all my emails. Painful. And embarrasing - it was my team runn...

French aficionados of f/256 pinhole cameras recommend this kind of multi-purpose shutter, probably invented by Nicéphore Niépce himself : Very good Emannuel, an entirely practical suggestion using something to hand. I come from a background in engineering and therefore necessarily think that any so...

Hi, I've decided to have a go at pinhole but decided that my MPP would do the job as well as a deicated box (albeit a very desirable box!), so for £10 plus postage I bought the pinhole and made a lensboard (4 layers of black mount board stuck together). It lacks a shutter but not much of a problem t...

The Elinchrom D-Lite kits are good and well priced - and they take all the Elinchrom accessories. The latest ones are fan cooled. They do 200/200, 400/400 and 200/400 kits including stands, bags and 2 softboxes. Watch for umbrellas though - the shaft hole is 7mm not the normal 8 so any you have may ...

Alan rebuilt a knackered Compur 00 for me (Ebay cheap job with v.nice Linhoff select Super Angulon 90 elements). I was delighted with the results; certainly better than some of my newer shutters.

Sfunny, I bought a Shen Hao version (fits MPP VII) from Badgergraphic last year for £9.95 and the shipping was $22. I also bought one from SatinSnow direct, and that cost about the same (got fed up waiting). If you have not already, I suggest you drop Badger an email and ask the cost of shipping; I ...

Hi All,

Went past Westonbirt yesterday - looking very nice; fantastic reds and golds.
