  5. Re: Feedback on the Kelty Redwing P2 backpack system

    The custom case is 12" wide (the maximum) outside. Inside it's 5" x 5" x 11.75" to be able to store the Chamonix viewer, which is 5" wide x 4.75" high.

    Note the arrangement still leaves me room...
  6. Re: Feedback on the Kelty Redwing P2 backpack system

    I sold my P1 and bought a P2. The P2 is heavier because of the increased padding in the belt, but Bruce assured me that it is more comfortable than the P1. It definitely is.

  7. Re: 90mm and 300mm, what great focal lengths (4x5)

    Ditto here: 90, 135, 200, 300, all Nikkor to standardize the controls. I was going to buy a 450 but given the size of prints I'm after I'm just going to crop the 300.

    Re: My New Maxwell Screen

    I'm about to order a Maxwell screen for my Chamonix. It just occurred to me why I need one for my 90/f8 - I think it's because of my laser eye surgery a couple of years ago. While I have 20/10 vision...

    Re: Chamonix 45-N1 with Teak wood

    I talked to Kerry Thalmann a while ago and he said the same thing. The wood needs to be air dried for a few years so it doesn't warp; I think I read somewhere else for 3 years. So it's not that there...
