MAGNAchrom Issue #2 available free to registered users

[MAGNAchrom]

For those of you who aren't yet aware of it:

I am happy to announce the launch of the 2nd issue of MAGNAchrom -- the free, downloadable magazine for users of medium and large format cameras. This new issue focuses primarily on analog topics. Chief among them is a unique article on Beyond The Zone System, written by Jorge Gasteazoro (a most interesting fellow and someone you should get to know!). What's particularly unique about this article is that we offer a free companion software calculator so you can plot your own BTZS curves with a minimum of fuss. Be sure to download both the magazine as well as the companion software calculator so you can follow along with Jorge as he explains it all.

Contents of MAGNAchrom v1.2 (90 pages):

- SOAPBOX: The Dumbing Down of Photography
- HOT MODS: S.K. Grimes improves the Technikardan

Hey there Michael

I have just glanced over this issue and am enjoying what I see.

Welcome to our group; I hope you find time to join in discussions and contribute to them. Of course, it could be a little difficult for you to join us on our workshops, but you would be more than welcome, provided your government will let you out

By the way, we have a Tearoom Appreciation sub-committee, an essential part of any British group

I would very much like to someday join you on the other side of the pond. I'm somewhat familiar with Bristol and London, but of course yours is a vast and varied landscape. It would be much fun to sit in a pub and interview one (or more) of you for a future edition of MAGNAchrom. I'll defintiely contribute when I can.

I only ask that you do likewise! (we are always open to submissions, especially from overseas)

Cheers,

[Mark Pope]

Another vote for the magazine Michael. Keep up the good work.

Another enjoyable read Michael, I especially enjoyed the real-life print comparison test you ran. Looking forward to issue three.

another great issue,infact the best one yet.what a shame that this and a few other of this type is not available in print (please take a hint editor!!).i know it a lot to do with cost,but i for one would pay premium price for this magazine.if you are dedicated to your hobby price doesn't matter as much.how much does a night on the beer cost these days?
hwyl fawr.

Is anyone else having fun opening issue 3? After downloading it I keep getting that the file is damaged and won't open via Acrobat 7 (both reader and professional.)

Maybe it's the clunky works setup as acrobat never seems very stable here and it'll be OK at home?

[BarryWilkinson]

Opens OK here.

Connecting to the internet and checking for updates might cure the problem.

It opens fine for me at home - grotty works system - I'll have to get hold of the PDF downloader add-in for Firefox and see if that makes a difference.
