Reading all this makes me realise how glad I am that all I have to worry about with my negs and non-digital stuff, is fire, flood, mice and moths

You can add me to the list too if you don't mind.
These days I am almost exclusively 5x4; mostly landscape and strange things and some portraits. They're not scanned, not on the web . . all B&W, developed, processed and printed by me
140-odd sheets since late 2008.

Hi Matthew -the Lunasix 3S is a great meter. To use the Zone system bit, take your reading (say 14 for example on the meter needle dial) align it with the yellow triangle; just below that is the silver LW/EV strip which will give a 'value of just below 9' (in this example). This is aligned with the ...

Try Chris - he's a Pentax 67 user, but he lives there so should know places - he's also a nice bloke!

I think they'll probably do the job nicely, and they'll probably smell nicer than the cat food caps!
But for those really big Lee adaptors it can only be

Have a nice weekend lurking in home-type stores!

oh sod . . and you probably don't want 100

so it's back to the cat food caps then

Not being glib or anything but first thought was http://www.thecatemporium.co.uk/plastic-cat-food-can-cover-idcepi5055-p-17.html :lol: but then thought how about http://www.componentforce.co.uk/en/category/125/round-inserts---75mm-to-100mm :) the latter might well do it, failing that how about tryin...

Hi Sal and everyone - thanks for the replies. I too tried the MCC beta test and liked it, though it has been a long time coming. I'm maybe thinking of the Adox Vario, as I'm just not sure about the extra optical brighteners etc in MGFB - we shall see though, I s'pose a box of 25 is only about £18. A...

It can be a bit confusing at first, but be totally methodical. You've numbered your slides, so that is a start, stack them in order, so start with 1, turn it over to 2, then put that aside (I use a seperate clip lock lunch box, and actually place the empty DDS in that, so there is no confusion of em...

Hi Folks - thanks for all the interesting replies. I am still in a dillemma, however I am narrowing things down a bit. Foma is out (as they only start at 9.5x12) - I decided that seeing as I've standardised on 8x10 I can't afford the extra dishes nor the fact my paper safe is only an 8x10 one . . .s...

Never used an FLM, though I like the look and the idea of all that weight saving. Gitzo low profiles are nice (Steve Mulligan recommends them for his Toyo). I for my sins own a Series 5 low profile! It was ex-British Museum, weighs a ton , but was dirt cheap and battered to bits. It cleaned up beaut...

Ever thought about the FLM heads sold by speedgraphic

load capacity seems outrageous for their size and weight!

Hi folks - since I restarted photographing a few years back, I've used a few B&W papers, but am wanting to try out some more. I like neutral to cold image tones on a plain white base. I've used a small mountain of Kentmere Fineprint, which though I like, I feel might be able to be beaten; I've also ...

Sounds perfect . . . I'll just run it past the committee.












They've agreed - see you up there!
