Topic: Which Lee Yellow filter for B&W?
Replies: 8

DJ. Hope this helps. There really are no right or wrong filters. If you enjoy what your red does, then thats fine. If I were putting together a set of filters together for b+w I would have red, orange, a deeper yellow, and a green. A polariser is good also. There are times when yellow just isn't eno...

Ian. Interesting. I've just got off the Foma site looking at reciprocity info for Fomapan 100, and going by the info there 100s = 1600s. Thats a lot more. After reading your last post on the 200 film I've decided not to use the 100 film as I planned to do this evening and go with some Delta instead ...

Been to one or two concerts in the past, one time with a large group of friends who cracked up about 10 mins in and had to leave. Fantastic time. Some of it is challenging to say the least.

Mike. Just out of interest what are you rotary processing your Fomatone in?. Only asking because I've got hold of a good amount of the 100 in 5x4, and as I'm normally an FP-4/rotary/ID-11 user I'm planning doing the same with the Foma. Like to hear any thoughts on this film, especially as to how it ...

In so many ways that camera is pretty ideal for landscapes, and it was designed mainly for wide angle lenses. Having tons of movements is fine, but personally if I were in the market for a 5x4 for use with lenses say up to 180mm, but mainly wide angle, and mainly landscape use, with that bomb proof ...

Rob. That quote you give from the website is Ok. Filter factor 2=1 stop, and 4=2 stops. 2 extra stops with 400 film = reading it as a 100 speed. I always think in terms of stops, ie my red is an extra 3, orange 2, yellow 1, green 3. Sometimes the factor makers give is a little out. Never gone down t...

Mike. I know it's a bit nerdy, but I'm going to go on a bit more about Walker cameras! You'll find it wears well - the plastic stuff is really stable, and with that expensive paint it wont scuff easily, and it can take plenty of stick without looking at all tatty. The bellows are waterproof, and don...

Quite agree. I think I've pushed it once or twice with lenses getting wet, and I always try to shield them from getting too badly wet, but never had one that suffered (I think!) unlike the camera back.

Mike I'm a fan of Walker cameras too, and I'm especially chuffed that they are 'made in England'. I have an SF, and I decked it not long ago and if it had been made of wood there would have been some serious repairing to do. Dont know if you ever plan using it in the rain, but that was the appeal fo...
