Hi Ash.
I have both types, we import them at the store. For firing strobes you can use this one,
Item number is: 170158382511 It has 6.3mm phone jack plugs on the receivers.
For firing a...
There's a fine line between pleasure and pain :p
Alright, I admit it.....Freud was my personal psychiatrist :D
It was back in 59....I think? Aussies here pick the essence of Pommie accent easily, especially after a beer :D
Thanks Ash...
I too have been struggling with the video for YouTube. I had to make up some lights/stands/backgound supports and other apparatus to make this movie, there was far more to it than I...
Here's a couple of close up shots of the doings......
A bit of DIY once again without the inflated cost ;)
Hi Ash....here's my idea of the perfect flash to use either with a Razzle or whatever.
I utilised a cheaply priced paint roller boom handle....it extends to 3.6 meters, is lightweight and simple. I...
This feels just like Christmas morning....:p
I cannot explain this, but every time this fellow goes on a rant :D my email server goes bananas.
Luckily I'm off work for a couple of weeks to try and make some headway....
So many cameras to...
Hi Ash....International tracking shows that delivery was attempted on October 5th.
Have you heard anything?
When ParcelForce can finaly be 'forced' to give it up, let me know how much VAT they...
To address this stupid argument about 'compression' I recently gave the Razzlok a 'squeeze' test and my ol' Volvo sure aint no lightweight.
Don't subject a CB103 film holder, (commonly used as a...
Express Post my :eek:
I made several inquiries regarding the hold up and received this:
'Dear Dean,
Thank you for your Express Post International (EPI) enquiry. Please note
that your item...
I thought we were only up to Episode 20 :confused:
Blimey, 9/1 :eek: My apologies, promise I will try much harder.
I too have had similar ideas that materialised into a camera or two not unlike yours.....metal, not wood and a little heavier perhaps :p
Blimey I could stumble around in Wales forever........I am a...
Before anyone misses the point here :) the MOST important thing to remember is that a great photo firstly emanates from the photographer's eye, then secondly, from the skill and experience...
I guess the ideal 4x5 has yet to be invented.....I have owned and used a Master Tech, Speed Graphic, Bush Pressman, many monorails, and a couple of wooden field cameras. Having the best that all...
Hi Chris....I have this latest idea in my head.....in two weeks I'm trialing a 210 Sironar N in a Copal 1 fitted to a 900 with an extended back :eek: Hopefully I can get enough rack to go from...
Don't worry guys, I'm sitting here dumfounded at the size of this list. Chris, I certainly didn't expect to see you on here....but thanks for the encouragement.
Kerik, I have just answered your...
But one stayed home :p That's right....tomorrow will see three of these little piggies flying out. One is off to California, one is off to Wiltshire and the third one is bound for Norway.
One...
Don't worry Gary.....I guess you were just 'Getting Excited' too :D
I figured I'd better put up a test neg taken with Bart's Blue Razzle......
The four wheel drive Landcruiser complete with a great Australian message.
Well, the rangefinder appears to be quite...
The latest edition of MAGNAchrom magazine just hit town :eek:

Bart's blue camera would have looked nice next to the Pink Caddy......
Gordon, you are correct. The detents act as a guide, with a visual check to see the lensboard is correctly aligned with the baseplate, then by tightening the clamp, it's locked in place.....simple...
Episode 19 is finally here!....Blue Bart and Black Ash. Barts camera is very near completion with only a little finishing off and testing left to do. Bart wanted a bright blue camera and here it...
Ash, you should try this ERA 4x5 sheet film from Isaac Chen...I really like it, especially at ten bucks a box of 25 sheets. Ebay item 110161827765. I use Ilford HC developer for 6 minutes, gently...
Think I'll just dwell on this statement.......:( 'The gear here for sale is used and shows scratches and signs of wear on the body'.....probably a lot of scratches and lots of wear.
At least...
Episode 19 will appear shortly.....A surprise is in store for Bart.......:eek:
The correct link for Ash's camera that now has its own web page is:

I just scanned the four negs on my Epson 4780 flatbed. Now remember that it was a dull Melbourne day :o
1. I guessed the exposure.
2. I decided on f8, so DOF is quite shallow.
3. Film used is...
The first four negs right out of the camera are drying as I speak....so tomorrow, after a quick scan, will be episode 18....the results. :eek:
C'mon David.....this just ain't 'clunky'...... Then it ain't a Littman either :D

Episode 17 has the standard flash shoe adapter fitted, along with the end plate covering the body where the cut was made at the outset of this venture. I use the simple Chinese made radio trigger...
We are fast approaching the final hour! This episode shows the protective covers fitted over the front standard locking mechanisms after having holes drilled allowing access to the cap screws that...
Now we have to secure the rear door section.....rather than have it swinging in the breeze, or occasionally held closed by a crude spring :eek:, I prefer to secure it with an internal brass plate...
Episode fourteen sees the fitting of a cable release socket to the left side of the camera body. This allows the right hand free to actuate the focus wheel. :)
Ash, your camera is very close to completion....I just had to manufacture a few more roll film back adapters and source Bart's blue bag. :D
The next episode will screen shortly........
Hi Bart....there's still time to replace the dull grey leatherette on your camera with that of nice blue? Would you prefer a light or dark blue 'Cookie Monster'?
I was made an offer for the...
Well, the Littman is simply a combination of the 110B and a Horseman 4x5 back....whereas Ash's camera is a 900 fitted with a 4x5 Razzlok back of my own design. It also features a newly designed front...
I have used stainless ribbon fabricated to the correct shape then heated until it a straw colour appears. It then takes on the attributes of spring steel but doesn't corrode. ;)
Cheers.
