Forgot to mention, you should be abel to get the current issue and back issues from Robert White.

Steve is also panning to make available an online version for overseas subscribers who wish to go that way.

I had a chat with Mike last night about View Camera subscriptions - if people want to take one up and you're in the UK, it's easier if you send a cheque - it's possible to pay online but he'd prefer cheques as it gives him your address etc. and a physical proof of order.

There could be some special offers coming if he gets the go-ahead from VC so have a chat with him...

For those with an existing subscription, you've to contact Mike to make a fresh start as Robert White's aren't allowed to hand over the subscriber list - Data Protection Act and all that...

Thanks for the heads-up. I had a look at the Walker Camera website. Not only do their cameras look nice, but that focusing cloth looks a bit good. Hopefully, it would work with my Shen-Hao...

Funny that, I did the same thing, I am sure it will fit most 5x4s as it looks elasticated.

I emailed Mike yesterday soon after I posted my note. I had a virtually instant response saying that it he thought it would work, but if it didn't he would refund my money. So I'll order one when I send off for my View Camera subscription.

That cloth should be miles better than the horse blanket thing that I currently use.

My focusing cloth arrived from Mike Walker yesterday. Given that I only sent a cheque to him on Tuesday morning, I think that's excellent service.

The cloth is pretty good. It's a lot smaller than the one I've been using and I think it will take some getting used to. But given that it weighs only 135g, compared to 890g (including bulldog clips) for my other cloth, I will persevere.
The elasticated hem is a real boon.

I also ordered a subscription to View Camera - I can't wait for the first issue
