Hi Guys
Whilst I agree that the editing is much improved in the current issue of View Camera, may I suggest a little extra work on the layout? Specifically, I'm not keen on images which cross the...

I use a small umbrella clamped to the tripod to protect the camera. As I couldn't find a company that made them, I went down to the local 'Mothercare' shop and bought one of those umbrellas...

There are a few people who use 8x10 Cibachrome material directly in camera for color work.
Do you (or anyone here) know of any examples available to view on the 'net?

I prefer to add any warmth myself, not have it added by default everytime I use the polariser. There are times when I use the polariser to cool an image down. IMHO, the standard polariser...

Re the 4x4 polariser, I used the Lee holder that allowed this to be rotated independently of any other filters, so using it with GND's was not a problem. It did, however, cause vignetting...

I have used the Lee 81 series filters (all of them) with Lee's GND's and polarisers for many years with no problems. I did find he 4x4 square polariser awkward to use though, and changed it...

The fact is that most, if not all, of Britain's national narks (including the Lake District) can be a nightmare during the school holidays. I would suggest that you have a look at the...
Hi Julian
I live near Chester, on the border between England and Wales.
I run a couple of workshops in the Snowdonia National Park every year. I can send you details if you like? Next time...
Hi Guys
A short note to let you know that my book is now published, and available from my website. Thanks.

Photographers should really never gather in groups of more than one.
Agreed. I think they're all very sad people.

Hi Andrew
I can't begin to understand how violated you and your family must feel. Please accept my heartfelt sympathies. I will, of course, keep an eye for the gear.

I normally shoot three sheets. The first is processed, then the other two, with any adjustments as required. One then goes to my slide library, leaving me with a least one good un', or two if I got...
Hi Geoff
There's some fine LF photographers hiding their lights under the collective bushel here ! :-) One or two of us seem to meet up from time to time on various workshops (Inversnaid, Light &...
I've attended a dozen or so workshops over the last 7 years, both as participant and as tutor/host, and without exception all the experiences have been positive ones, with a good time being had by...
Hi Bob
I would go with a 4"x4" (or bigger) system. It gives you more options both now and in the future. In addition, it's been my experience that the Cokin 'P' series filters, especially the...
Hi Bob
Don't know if this will provide a final answer for you, but it may be a good starting point. It's the website of the UK National Union of Journalists. Hope it helps.

Hi Peter
Try these people http://www.firstcall-photographic.co.uk/
They definately stock the chemicals, but I don't know about shipping. Worth a phone call though. HTH

Hi Laura Lea
I'been using an RW45 for around 4 years, and think it's a great camera for my needs. I regurlarly use a 65mm lens without any problems, although you do have to fiddle with the front...

Under what circumstances can (or do) the acrylic filters warp?

Hi Larry
I use a 65mm on my RW45 with no problem, and a flat lens board. I use a combination of front centre tilt, front base tilt and a little front rise, to move the front standard closer to...
Hi John
Lee make a ring that is fitted to the front of your filter holder in the same way as you would fit an extra slot. i.e using the four brass screws. This ring is threaded so you can then...

Hi Guys
I use a 5x4 camera and have a selection of lenses including a Nikon 270 TED lens, which is a briliant lens, but very bulky. I'm looking to replace it with something in the same focal...
Hi Guys
As Ilfachrome and its chemistry is produced in Switzerland there should be no problem with supplies. My local Ilfachrome lab says that the only minor problem they had was that a new line...
I've used an Ebony RW45 for 2 years or so with none of the problems I've read in the original post. I use my 65mm lens, though you need to set the camera before putting the lens on. The 'locking...

Hi Bill
Some of my work is on my website at www.landscapesofwales.co.uk. Mind you, it's due to be updated before xmas, so most of the work, although ongoing, is 12 months old.

If you're talking about a straight print from the tranny, then Ilfachrome or Fuji Crystal Archive is the way to go. If you want to manipulate the image, then scan it (or have it done), do your stuff...
so using polyester filters with polarised skylight could well produce these effects
I had exactly the same problem a few years ago, and, after consulting with Lee, they confirmed that using...
There's an excellent book 'The Golden Ratio' by Mario Livio (ISBN 0-7472-4988-1), which explores all aspects of Phi. It's fairly readable, though, by its very nature, a little academic in places.

The British camera manufacturer MPP made a copy of the Linhof multi finder. It's not as small, or as light, but it does as good a job. I got one off Ebay for £30 last year. Worth keeping an eye...
A few years ago I had some problems when I tried using some 81 series gels with a polariser. I was getting rainbow tones and effects on my tannies. I've since been told that this is a common...
I use this firm

Hi guys
Is there a film flatness problem (or any other problems) when using Fuji Quickload film in the 545i back? I know that the older 545 back lacks the pressure plate, which is fitted to...
Not sure about the US, but at the moment, the prices on UK Ebay are silly. Many items are selling for more than you pay for them in a dealers, which is daft. When bidding, I usually set my limit at...

Just to clarify the situation, could you answer the following for me?

Hi Julio
The amount of tilt applied to the back is usually so small, and the landscape objects so irregularly shaped, that the image looks entirely natural.
I don't tilt the back where the...
Hi Brian
Doesn't using the front tilts (either base or centre) move the image circle off the centre of the GG slightly? Anyway, each to his/her own I suppose, but I find using the rear base tilt...
