Re: 10x8 Wide Angle Lens Recommendations

John, another lens that you might include is the Apo-Sironar-W 210/5.6, image circle 352 mm. It is no longer made but it comes up second-hand. Copal 3 shutter, so heavy. The -W lenses were a limited range that were initially called just "Apo-Sironar", and are similar in design to the -N and -S serie...

Re: 5x7 film

Dennis, of course no-one can answer your question, but having a 5x7 setup I have followed film availability for the past few years, based on which the future looks good, particularly for B&W. The choice will never be as great as 5x4, but there are a lot of 5x7 fans out there, particularly in N Ameri...

Ian has written about the Minolta Spotmeter F, which I can vouch for from personal experience. It's great. Unfortunately mine died after a dip in Buttermere, which wrecked the electronics. My ...

Re: Recommendation for shutter service needed!

You could try Newton Ellis in Liverpool, http://www.newtonellis.co.uk/. I haven't had them service a shutter but they have done other work for me to a high standard, and with a quick turn-around time.

I have no connection with them other than as a satisfied customer!

Re: Landlocked in North Oxon

Welcome Andrew!

I have lived in Oxon for many years; moved from there to the Wirral peninsula near Chester.

My LF collection is tiny compared with yours!
