G'day - I buy Velvia Quickload 4*5 trannies.

Each sheet has an identification umber on the outside sleeve that covers the film – I use this number on my notes as I expose the film thinking that it...

I have recently purchased Lightzone and I agree with Ted Harris. My Dell 1 GByte RAM PC continually "crashes" trying to manipulate a 200MB scan of a 4*5 tranny. I hope they get a "patch" out soon.

If all want is a "display" site and
1) you know how to dump JPGs from photoshop; and
2) you are familiar with MS word; and

Living in Brisbane I learnt very quickly that the right gear, at the right price, comes from places like MPEX in the states. I'm visiting Melbourne in June/July and I look forward to checking out the...

I found "Dreamweaver" easy to use (bit like a word processor really) - then hosted the web site I built locally using the ISP that provides me my internet/email service - part of the deal is a...

I use a Lee wideangle adaptor ring - works a treat - no vignetting.

I use a plastic bag (heavy duty shopping variety) - I have one in my camea bag for the express purpose

Having visited a Ken Duncan gallery (and being on his e-mail list - a welcome thing) and having purchased a print, I note he markets in all segments and so has a range pf prints (and sizes) - in fact...

G'day Chong
I'm in Brisbane - and get film etc through Kayell (although they have to order my Velvia 4*5 quickloads). Otherwise I frequent L&P in Sydney - www.lapfoto.com.au.

Allow me one a shade off topic ... do any of you Australians know anyone in Oz who prints using:

- H Tango drum scanner 300 DPI,

- Lightjet printer,

I want to put some 4*5 Velvia under the...

OK! Being a QL user I'm keen to know if Mark II is better than MK I - reading the post tends to suggest they have just put an easier safety release button on place rather than the white tab - are...

Correction - it has "Field 45" on it ...

I have a Wista like Joe's - it just has "Wista 45" on it - and otherwise looks like as you describe it Ivan. But I bought mine second hand - and I have no idea on the date (or other details)....

G'day Friends

I'm a newbie to LF - I decided to 'have ago mate' after many years watching the work of the much admired Australian Peter Dombrovskis. Apart from Steve Simmon's book, all I have...

My favourite is "Wilderness Light" by Robert Rankin (It 's Australian though) - Rankin Publishers.

I approached Wista in Japan once - they were happy to spend some time looking at my problem (in the end I didn't need them - but they were keen).

OK! great advice - thanks!

OK - maybe I'm loopy - but I have a problem using my loupe.

Everytime I get under the cloth and place my nice Schneider loupe on the ground glass - it fogs up! Suddenly everything is very blurry....

G'day folks - I'm a LF newbie in Brisbane. Wista 4*5. Learning the craft - but I don't just get the time to take as many photos I need to improve. But enjoying the conversiuon from 35 mm. Catch up...

G'day forum - firstly I have learnt heaps from this forum as a 'newbie' in LF. Thanks to all. I have started for instance, to learn that tilt contributions to focussing is a ground glass adjustment...

G'day Leonard - quoting Dombrovskis, hmmmm - do you live in Oz? Michael Hewson

Zoltan - I have bought equipment from L&P photographics in Sidenii (Artarmon I think) and find them thoroughly professional - if they don't do repairs, they'll know who!

G'day I use the Nikon SW90 on my Wista field 4*5 - and I think it perfect for the job - lightweight, sharp and so I concur with others.
