LF technique books – Free if you are buying something and picking it up, suspect postage will be prohibitive. Stroebl, Dykinga, and Simmons, possibly a couple of others. Very light use, one careful Gentleman owner!!! Dykinga spoken for

Available film will be announced shortly

I’m working 18hr days at the moment and thus haven’t had time to fully research prices, but have asked ones I think seem to be fair. If I am miles out, then please provide evidence for comparable product in same condition and I’ll try to accommodate.

Postage will be quite expensive for some heavy items and haven’t had a chance to investigate options. I am situated on South Coast if you’d like to arrange to pick up your items

Additional information - My working conditions have changed and I have made the decision to move to an entirely digital workflow, largely on the grounds that I don’t have the time to properly enjoy all the aspects of film photography and juggle all my other commitments.

I really look after my gear and applied much thought and sought advice before purchasing, as I prefer the buy once, but well philosophy. I have photos of all of the main items, but have to change them from their RAW state. I will do in the next day or so.

Big step Baxter - selling stuff means no easy chance to change your mind!
I dabble a bit with digi but can't see me taking that big step.

[Baxter]

Yes Steve - a big step indeed. A lottery win would have obviated need to sell gear, but this is not a hot-headed flash in the pan decision.

Full digital workflow isn't necessarily for everyone, but then again, neither is LF film. There are notable accomplished photographers who didn't gel with LF and make their images otherwise. I am treating this as a new adventure and challenge, in the same way that the machinations of LF and the sometimes bizzare terminology (APO-blahblah lenses etc) were completely alien when I tentatively ventured into the LF world.

I was supplying the information about the reason for sale, as I believe in openness and honesty.
