Badger seem to have it in stock

I've had a 3372 for a few years. It's a good solid tripod and I'd buy another Feisol. I've encounted a couple of issues - firstly the spikes you can get for the 3372 and 3371 are hopeless, they're...

Sounds like a job for an able handed assistant (the holding parts apart, not the praying!)

Thanks for the warning GPS! So the Pliobond is a type of contact adhesive - I see. I can see how it's not easy to glue the last side if you do it a side at a time.

Hi,

I need some new bellows for my technikardan, I can get the Chinese copies on fleabay but they need attaching to the old plastic frames – just wondering how easy this is to do? I've read up on...

I'm waiting on PS Electronics to phone me back as Pete wasn't around today - should get back to me in the morning so hopefully I'll be able to shed some light on the problem tomorrow. I suspect it's...

My D4000 has developed exactly the same problem, I've been meaning to get in touch with PS Electronics who I bought mine from to find out what's going on - just been waiting to get some money...

I've recently got a Wacom Bamboo Pen and Touch (my 3rd attempt at getting on with a graphics tablet!) and it's great, very small and easy to carry about, it comes with a case too. Really good to use...

There's also this that might be useful

I'm a big fan of Badger too, I didn't have to pay any import duty on my last two lots so it worked out cheaper than buying anywhere in the UK. Pretty fast delivery too - less than a week.

Thanks for posting the link.

Considering the aps you can get for just a few $ for the iPhone this seems totally overpriced – $14.99 – not the sort of money you're going to shell out just to give...

Just got my Paypal invoice from Hugo for my 45N-2: $860 for the camera; $41 for a folding viewer (these are great for setting up the shot, really like mine on my 45N-1 and it's easier to get off than...

Stanage Edge in the Peak District, UK.

This was part of a test to compare 12 year out of date Astia with fresh stuff. There was actually little difference, even given that one was Astia 100 and...

It's great news, I'd hoped the day would come that Ektar would become available in 4x5 but suspected it never would. Looking forward to giving it a go, it might even tempt me to save up for a 10x8!

I'm sure you've heard about the focusing problem with the Chamonix caused by the fresnel? It's not something I've really experienced with mine but I have since changed my GG for a Maxwell (you can...

Indian Pale Ale!?! :eek:

Hi Steve,
it's not the actual fresnel that's damaged, it's the ground glass side. You're right though, it does still work OK, it just looks a bit of a state.

I've managed to mess my Mawell screen up and wondered if anyone knows if it's fixable...

The ground glass side got wet with snow when I took it off to put a roll film back on, I think I tried to...

Hi, has anyone had any experience with a Photo Clam PC-33N with a lightweight field camera, like a Chamonix? I know I'd be better off with a more heavy duty ball head, and I have one of those for...

I must say in my email conversations with Bill he never insisted on anything and never suggested sending him cameras. As someone who's pretty knowledgeable when it comes to workshop matters I see no...

Oh I'm confused now! :confused: It doesn't take much!

There is nothing betwee the ground glass surface and the lens. Behind the GG surface there's the Maxwell fresnel which is joined to the GG and...

Yes the distance is the same – the frosted side of the Chamonix GG faces the lens, this is removed and replaced by the Maxwell, the frosted side of which also faces the lens – they sit in the same...

It doesn't effect film registration at all – the ground glass fits exactly where the Chamonix GG was, so the focus surface is in exactly the same place.

I know there's been some discussion on the problem of fitting a Maxwell screen on a Chamonix and the problem that the retaining clips won't accommodate the new cover glass. Should anyone be...

I have a 45 SP (older one with no swing) and a Chamonix, for me the Chamonix is a much nicer camera to use, more flexible, more tactile and quicker to use. Having said that I do like the Wista, it...

Thank you Sevo - very helpful

I was wondering if anyone had an answer to this one...

I have limited edition prints – is it acceptable to use any of these images in mass produced items such as books, calenders, postcards etc....

I agree about the 300mm, I love mine and use it a lot. My 90mm annoys me a bit, probably because it's the Nikkor f/4.5 and is way heavy. Most of the time I find the 90mm a bit too wide for me, I'd...

I only use a Pentax spot meter, wouldn't know how to make photos without it. I did have a Soligor spot meter before which, for me, was easier to use than the Pentax and I wouldn't hesitate in getting...

That's a brilliant idea! I never thought of looking at fishing accessories, just had a quick look and you can get something about the same size as my Lowepro insert and it's much cheaper. I think...

I got mine here in the UK, but that's probably not much use to you. There doesn't seem to be many places that sell them for some reason, I wonder if you can order them from Lowepro stockists?

I'd recommend getting in touch with Klaus at www.fotolaborservice.de, he's in Germany (obviously!) but repaired my Jobo which I sent over to him from the UK, he does official repairs for Jobo in...

I actually received mine today with the side pockets. I can well and truely recommend it (well, without trying it out on a big hike yet that is). It seems very comfortable and has enough adjustments...

I got round to developing my out of date, stored in the bedroom for a year Velvia 100 yesterday and I can see no obvious damage at all. I sometimes think there's too much made about storage...

I've got a few sheets to process tomorrow that I've treated with little respect for the last year or so, thought I'd give them a go to see how they compare to Velvia 50, so I'll let you know how they...

Luckily you don't get too many bad types as 4am in the British countryside but I always have a look round before I go under the cloth. If I'm around when there might be people about I tend to make...

Joe and his 'victorian technology' were also on the BBC on Monday night in a program called "In Search of England's Green and Pleasant Land" It's the Yorkshire one and currently on iPlayer here It's...

Thanks Brian, that recessed board looks great, I haven't tried it yet but I'm guessing my 65mm would need such a thing and bag bellows.. actually, I wonder if you can replace the bellows on my older...

Thanks Rafael, great looking camera, I'm not normally a fan of gold but this looks great. I'm very tempted to restore mine as some of the leatherette is missing from the locking knob and the...

Thanks Warren, it looks like mine's an early one as there's no lever. It's not something I use often so not really a problem.
