Hi JimBob,

Another UK member here. So glad you raised this topic as I,too, am about to start processing my own 5x4 monochromes in a Paterson Orbital.

I have a book by Frances Schultz and Roger...

Done, as Ron said, in under 5 minutes.

No, we're not that rare. Welcome to a really friendly group Dennis.

Barry

Noted. Thanks Paul.

Barry

I don't really know why I use one - suppose I got fed up using my real name.

Anyway my main ones are: -
a)FEETHEA - it's Greek for 'snake' I believe and was called that when I changed...

HDC,

I've had the Sekonic 508 for some 18 months and am very pleased with it - both ease of use and accuracy of metering.

If I was buying one now I'd opt for the 558 with the digital readout in...

The best chance to guarantee fair weather in Scotland would be the 32nd day of each month ;)

Barry

Thanks Steve. That would be a great help. I've just noticed that you can buy s subscription in the States from independent companies for under $30? Time to emigrate methinks!

Barry

Steve,

I'd love to get involved and subscribe but, once again, here in rip-off UK the cost of subscribing to the magazine is the equivalent of 76 dollars (via Robert White)compared to 40 dollars...

Hey,

Why concentrate on either the South of England or Scotland. Take my advice: -

1) get a plane direct to Manchester,
2) hire a car,
3) head for, and stay in the Yorkshire Dales (a National...

Another Brit on the forum - woo-hoo! We're taking over ;)

Welcome to this very friendly and knowledgable forum.

Barry

Just had with a very nice man at Robert White's here in the UK when I ordered a Folding Back for the Toyo.

He informs me that the only Sinar to Toyo lens board adapter that's available is for the...

Man those adapter boards are expensive - especially as I'm looking at using a Sinar board on a smaller Toyo board (how does that work - not!).

Still, I've solved some of the problem as I've won a...

Hi Eirik,

Welcome to the forum - they're all a really friendly bunch here.

Barry

Hi Jean,

And welcome from sunny Bolton. The members on here are exceptional with their friendliness and advice - second to none!

You're travelling all the way from Lancaster to Bolton? (I'm...

H.D.C. - yes I have a Sinar monorail camera with six lenses currently mounted on Sinar boards, and yesterday I bought a Toyo 45CF from another member of this forum and was looking at selecting one or...

Thank you all for the advice.

I've just won the Rodenstock spanner on E-Bay (I say 'won' but I was the only bidder!) so when the Toyo arrives from Texas, I'll give it ago as outlined in H.D.C.'s...

I recently acquired a Sinar monorail system with 6 Schneider lenses. In addition (and thanks to my elderly mum!) I bought a Toyo 45CF from Joe Forks via this forum.

My questions are: -
a) What...

Hi all,

Once again, thanks for the excellent advice. I've put Lee filters at the top of my shopping list re my next purchase(s).

Barry

Ron, Emmanuel, Robert and Capocheny,

Many, many thanks for the quick replies. From the advice given I've established the filter sizes (and gobsmacked at the prices of the larger ones :eek: ). I...

Hi all,

I've just entered the LF world and thanks to mum (Mum's are good for this :-) even at 77!) I've upgraded my very old DeVere monorail system to a newer Sinar one. The kit came with six...

Thanks for the advice folks - much appreciated.

Barry

Am I correct in thinking that in order to attach an Arca Swiss monorail camera to a tripod that you have to use an Arca Swiss tripod head, eg B1e? Or are there alternatives?
Any help appreciated....

Frank,

Some people say it's Homer Simpson's latest X-Ray - my wife disagrees and says it must be me and my small brain as I spend so much on camera gear:rolleyes:

Hi Kev,

Yosemite eh? Been over to the States twice in the past 2 years hitting the West then the East coasts - can't wait to return and do the great parks such as Yosemite. You are very fortunate...

Hi Folks,

Many, many thanks for the warm welcome.

Capocheny - I thought I'd use the term 'cop' so our colonial friends would know what I meant ;) . Re your query about possible subsequent Fine...

Hi,

Just a few quick lines to say hello. I've been lurking for a while and having recently bought my first LF camera, a 5x4 De Vere monorail, thought I'd join the forum.

I'm a 53 yrs old cop,...
