Chris,
It will only cost you the same as a nice bottle of wine (hell, maybe even a nasty, cheap bottle of wine).
Don't go down the road of 'if I make money out of it I'll pass the good $$ on'....

Hi People,

Hi everyone,
Just thought I'd drop back in to say that Karl from metered light contacted me.
They have been away on a trip, so there was a delay.
All is good!!!
D.
Thanks everyone,
I'll keep on trying.
Frank, step away from the keyboard....

Hi everyone,
I'm just trying to get through to the guys at Metered Light.
I've smashed my old meter and am trying to replace it with their small meter.
I know it is at times hard to get in...
Sorry, but reading all this I'm getting to the point of pouring gasoline all over myself and striking a match.
Henry has it exactly right.
No need for maths and all the craziness.
Stand at a distance that you find the rendering of the subject to your liking. Choose a lens that provides the cropping that...
Thanks everyone,
I grabbed the lens from Calumet.
Much appreciated,

Hello,
I've been in contact with MPEX and a few others trying to find a 270mm G-Claron in shutter with no luck.
Does anyone know of one floating about looking for a new owner?

Dave,
I will apologise now for my previous post seeming to be a bit aggressive. i think I got a bit wound up because lately there has been an amazing amount of China bashing on this forum. The...
Yeah JJ,

Ok,
there seems to be a lot of conjecture and comments about 'China' on this thread. Disappointing.
I have one of the cameras. I received it about 2 weeksago.
I bought it off ebay.

Hello,
I am in need of a rigid lens hood for a 90mm f8 SA.
I have just acquired a handheld 5x4 and am shooting in pretty harsh conditions, so need the flare and physical protection.

yep, 30 inches is a decent amount of bellows!
I'd say the 210 G-Claron, mine does VERY well on the front of the 8x10 up close.
Out past 1:1 it is still performing well (well enough!).
Good...
the gaoersi camera has rise and fall.
this allows the photographer to use it as b0th a handheld unit and take advantage of one of the most common movments used (at least by me) when on a tripod.

Henry,
I have a nikkor 300 f9 on my Kodak Master right now. It folds up inside with heaps of room to spare. I think you'll be surprised how big a lens you can get in there.
I find that I need...

Scott,
that first case logic neoprene sleeve is almost identical to what I got.... and a better price.
D.
It holds four film holders.
I called them double-darks in the first post. A common term used in some countries.
This bag is a simple neoprene sleeve, no pockets on the outide etc. I slide it...
Hello,
Just thought I'd let you all know about a good little bag for 8x10 holders.
Went down to a 'CompUSA' store today and found a Sony neoprene laptop sleeve for 15 inch models. It has a...
thanks guys,
much appreciated! I think I have it all sorted.
have a good long weekend.

Hi guys,
Help: Australian lost in LA for a short trip.
Need to buy a few more 8x10 DD's, and have a look at a harrison tent (getting sick of my bag).
Any stores recommended to go have a look...
Straun is definitely right about macpac. even after they moved manufacture out of NZ the packs are still sweet.
D.
Dan,
Are you using the pack by itself ONLY to haul the camera gear or is it also something for travelling/hiking/backpacking.
I use a system of two bags.
A smaller 'day pack' sized bag...
remember prices are getting a bit out of hand on these cameras.
I have two (both bought in sydney, australia).
I got a voigtlander 450 skopar in compound with a body for A$1500, the other came...
Murray,
what about Astia or EPP. If EPN is still around in 8x10 it might give you an even 'smoother' or 'muted' colour palette.
Not overly contrasty like many other chromes, and as noted most...
i would have thrown up EPP as a possibility. With a light 81 series in the flatter light, it can have that wonderful pastel, subtle look.
good luck with whatever you find.
and congratulations...

they are great to deal with.
good luck!
hi guys,

i ordered a replacement bellows for my kodak master 8x10 from them little over a week ago.

steve,
i was going to get up at some silly hour to phone the USA to have a chat to John, but after reading your response, there seems to be no point to this at all.
why does this company seem...
film holders (just in that funky size).
sorry, they went almost straight away.
hopefully to a good home.
good luck finding some plate holders for yourself. i'm sure they are around.

and at the same time, correspondance and business with Mpex, RRS and Camera Bellows went without a hitch.
ie. my email was all fine and dandy.
A lot of people seem to be having trouble with supply of materials from J&C at the moment.
I made an order in early December (5th) 2003 for 6 boxes of classic 200 of 8x10, and the same amount in...
Hello peoples!!!
I have rummaged through a box of holders (5x7 and 8x10) that I have and came across 2 double darks that are no use to me.
they are Toyo Field 4-3/4 x 6-1/2 inch double darks.
