Hi from the North West

Hi guys, I'm Lee Turner from the Rossendale area of Lancashire. After a few years of using 35mm and MF I started to use 5x4 about 4 months ago. This soon became very addictive so the gear list grew quickly:

MPP MKIII, converted to MKVII front standard and stripped down for field use.
Horseman LX monorail. Lovely...... heavy!
135mm Symmar
150mm Sironar
210 Commercial Congo

Managed to pick up a floor standing De Vere 504 pretty cheap so that my other passion of printing could continue with the LF gear.
It's quite a learning curve so I hope to be able to attend one of your gatherings in the near future. As I work in West Yorkshire either Red or White Rose country will do.

Hi Lee,

You'll find quite a few of us up here in the North West; there's Jo and Helen in Southport, Marc in Manchester, and Tombo and myself on the Wirral (and probably some more who I've forgotten). It's getting to be quite a little cluster up here!

Hi Lee - not another b****y Northerner!!!!!!

Welcome from a "southern softie" (South Wales anyway)

Hope you find everyone helpful on the forum and hope to meet you on a workshop one day!

Regards

Revolting Southerners again? (I'm including that guy from Cardiff in "Southerners")
Something must be done.

Maybe a meeting far up in the north, where.... Oh, Nevermind.
