I'll have to find a 30 degree slope first.

Well I've now got the Redsnapper tripod and ball head and I'm pretty impressed with the quality, the service and the cost. Of course, being a novice at this LF thing, it may be pants to all you Ebony users, but it fully extends to 1.9m with the ball head and the old Arca-Swiss on it, which is way hi...

But you haven't really, have you?

All you have is a representation of the colours and luminosity presented in a way that the process and your ability to control it dictates.

have the people who've had bad results from labs like Peak actually spoken to then about their concerns? In my experience of dealing with peak they are pretty customer-oriented. Good suggestion. IMLE, Peak are keen to resolve quality issues, so it would be worth talking to them at least. On the not...

A couple of suggestions:

1) If you could get it direct from Japan it might be cheaper.

2) You could try approaching 7dayshop.co.uk as they obviously have a way to buy other Fuji films at good prices. If you committed to a case they might just be interested as there would be little risk.

Ahh, you won that one did you. I almost bid but missed the end - not that I needed it, but I've just acquired a similar one and though at that price it would be good to have some spares. I reckon you got a bargain. It seemed to me that this model is about as portable as a field camera when used with...

I'm a short-arse, so it should be fine.

Thanks for all the advice (although I'm think I'm probably more confused than when I started ;-) ). Anyway, I've ordered a Red Snapper aluminium tripod and ball head and I'll see how I get on. The good news is that it's only about £100 all in (buy cheap and you can afford to buy twice is my motto). ...

Yes, they do look good.

At least if I ever make a decent picture I'll know it's not just down to the equipment

load capacity seems outrageous for their size and weight!

Yes, I'm looking at the catalogue page right now. Anyone tried one out?

I'm sure you're right re money and choice, but I'm a great believer in the 80:20 rule and I'm looking for 80% of the performance for 20% of the price ;-) The trouble with these things is that you're never quite sure of performance until you've tried it out for real. I like the idea of a PT head with...

Tim, Gitzo seem unbelievably (and in my case unjustifiably) expensive. What's so special about them? There's also an outfit called Red Snapper who make a couple of 'gitzo' looking tripods. Cullman aren't exactly a new company. I've had a fold up tripod (Magic) of theirs for at least 25 years althoug...

A couple of questions back OT if I may ... Everyone seems to recommend the 055XPROB, but just how useful is the quick-change centre column feature for LF? Wouldn't the plain 055XB which is slightly lighter and more compact be better? The 190 is a decent amount lighter than the 055 - but is it too mu...
