Re: Lake District Spring 2013

Re: Green country of ours

Thanks for the pics Charles. My 5x4 has been to Oz too! The first time I got to see the Opera House close up I was too jiggered from the flight to line up the camera properly!

It would be good to meet up sometime. How about the Lakes in spring?

Re: Archiving 5x7 film

Conservation Resources, based in the US but with an Oxford depot. Very good but expensive. Excellent boxes for negs & trannies of all sizes too.

Here are the sleeves: http://www.conservationresources.com/Ma ... n12_03.htm

Re: Irish View

Welcome too Colm. "Nice and light"? May I ask just how heavy is your Linhof press camera? Our colleague Charles has been known to leap up mountains bearing a metal camera but some of us have no such youthful vigour left, and use wooden cameras, of a sort that was once highly favoured… It would be ni...

Re: Ebony wide angle fresnel?

When I installed the Fresnel on my 45S some years ago the advice that I got from Ebony was that it should go on the lens side of the sandwich. This means that when you are putting the pieces in again, after removing the 2 clips from the camera back, the order is 1 Fresnel, 2 existing gg with graticu...

Re: Compound shutter repair in the UK

Another option would be Newton Ellis in Liverpool. Turnaround time may be faster. The 3 jobs that they have done for me were first class.

Re: Ilford Delta 100 Dynamic Range

Joanna that's one of the best examples of "tonality" that I have seen from Delta 100. Can I ask you what you used for developer/dilution?

Best wishes,
