Satin Snow GGs

gari · Post by **gari** » Fri Jan 19, 2007 9:27 pm Etc/GMT-1+01:00

I have just recieved 2 satin snow GGs from the US. I ordered from Badger graphic, they have Shen Hao replacements for $10 each!!.
I ordered them on the 29 Dec and they came this morning, postage was about $20 I think, I figured that at that price it was worth the risk.

I have the darkest screen imaginable(fellow MPP owners may not need to imagine

) The difference is amazing. They have a little of the corners cut off, no more than my Cambo screen, and they are 102mmx128mm. They fit the MPP ok but the cambo is a spot on fit.
Bargain!!!

I thought the way you wrote that, you'd bought one for you and a spare and if anyone wanted one, give you a nod...

Maybe not then

Having spent a morning squinting at my MPP it seems well worth ordering something brighter. Thanks for the info, I just ordered two - as I'm far too clumbsy with glass.

If someone is desperate I don't use the Cambo so could let that one go, it is technically a spare.

I would suggest that if people are interested you could get a collective order and send it in, the postage cost would be spread making the screens even cheaper. If the collective mention the group/website it may attract some coverage/support over there. Considering the ease I found in ordering I see no reason why we couldn't court sponsors from that side of the pond.

I have had stuff in the UK take longer to get here, and as for the cost, £15-20 is the average to get anything here to the "highlands and Islands".

From Dave Parker / Satin Snow

"I have no interest in supporting the traditional photography industry any longer, the industry as a whole is ruthless and unforgiving, and it ain't worth the trouble any longer"

It seems to mean he's giving up.

Ian, where did you get this info from ? The site has no mention of it.

As well as the Satin Snow screens, Maxwell also do a marvelous fresnel-type screen that can handle lenses from 72mm right up to 400mm, at least on my Ebony. Yes, they are over $200 each, but I have managed to obtain an offer of free shipping for those ordering when attending one of our workshops.

I browse APUG also, when going back on the site after a longish lay-off there were various threads alluding to a fall out between Sean/APUG and Dave.
Not sure what the details are but it seems he no longer participates there.

Lets hope he isn't getting out of the game, great screens and we need all the LF makers we can get, whatever they make.

I don't get any impression that Satin Snow Dave is getting out of the LF game. I ordered from him direct, and he has been very apologetic about the non-arrival of my screens. He promises to resend the order next week.

Good day to you all - I have also recently placed an order direct with Satin Snow, and found Dave Parker to be quick to reply to e-mails, and generally helpful. When the screen arrives, I'll re-post with a view on it, as I also have the MPP squint.

I ordered a screen early october for my Crown Graphic. I'm still waiting...

I have heard that he is, errr, snowed under with orders...

And yes, it seems he has had a major falling out with APUG/Sean.

My order from Badger arrived yesterday. Very well packed. First impressions - I might have to wear sunglasses! (well, compared to the MPP screen I was using).

I emailed SatinSnow's Dave Parker yesterday about the delivery of my screen (ordered early october) and he told me it was in the post, as well as several others for the UK...

Hi Michel,

You should have it in the next few days, it was mailed about a week ago, with a bunch of other UK orders...sorry for the long wait, but it should be there very soon now.
