In a moment of madness I'm thinking of building a 5x4 fixed focus camera with a spare 90mm f8 Super Angulon shoved on the front and an International back on the back of what would basically be a wooden box, the depth of which would give be set to focus at infinity.
Anyone else done it?
Cheers Dave

Swap Rolleiflex tlr for large format gear
Hi All, I know that a 6x6 Rollei isn't large format but I would rather it went to someone in the UK rather than sending it abroad. I bought this early F2.8 Xenotar a while back...It has a dent in the top lens mount that stops the aperture and shutter speed wheels and the viewing lens is a bit off ax...

My first neg for years!
Hi All, I shot a couple of 5"x4" FP4's today at work (the subject matter was nothing exciting) AND developed them.....This is the first negs I have done in about 20 years :shock: and this has spurred me on to get the darkroom finished and do some RA-4...

Re: Used chemicals dissposal?
Hi Lynne, Thanks for the link but it is all b+w only....I'll have a read of the leaflet with the chemicals. I won't even ask what women do with their hair treatments :shock: Cheers Dave You should get a Health & Safety data sheet with any chemicals that you purchase which gives all the info on H&S i...

Used chemicals dissposal?
Hi, I am quite a long way from getting my dark room functional (that's an understatement) but I was wondering in this day and age what is the 'enviromental' thing to do with exhausted chemicals, in particular colour dev and blix?

Re: Coming back to photography

I have been doing photography for the past 38 years or so (on and off) I suppose looking back on it the only reason I stoped doing it was that I got married and bought up kids ...How many time you herd that? I have used most semi professional and profes...
