Hello

Post by john_uk » Tue Feb 20, 2007 11:59 am Etc/GMT-1+01:00

Hi all
Im John from Croydon in Surrey.
Completely new to large format and just bought a speed graphic(think its a 1954 model) and a technical camera that was made about 1960 by K L BIGGS a company in the uk.
I cant find much info on this camera on google so if anyone has any I would appreciate hearing about it.
I havent taken any photos with them yet as I need to buy some film holders or even a polaroid 545 holder.
Ive been doing a lot of reading on the net about large format and this forum and and a couple of others are a great source of information.

Hope to meet a few of you if I can get to one of your workshops/meetings

Regards

John

Greetings, at last 8) I notice you come from Croydon, which is interesting as I come from Thornton Heath originally, before moving "up north".

Hello John and welcome.

I was in Croydon today. Can't help with those particular camera's but happy to meet in Croydon for a coffee sometime to discuss LF. I am not an expert though.

Barry

Hello John
I am quite new to this and live in Orpington. I use a Wista so am not able to help with the Speed Graphic. However I do have quite a lot of film and a polarid back which you could borrow. If you are interested get in touch through the forum or you can send me an email.
