so most of our work that day was focused elsewhere)

Thanks so much! We battled heat, humidity, mud, HUGE spiders, flies, mosquitoes and locusts to reach the location, so you can imagine how pleased I am to produce an acceptable photograph :)

Currently 2/2 with KEH. Just received a replacement front element for a 240mm Symmar-S. Better than expected and at a bargain price :) There was no photo and no description in their online catalog,...

Hey, awesome, more Victorians! :) I'm usually fairly quiet myself, unless it's something important. I'm much more of a reader than a speaker! :)

Hi Carey and thanks! Must get up to your neck of the woods one day, and I'm still planning on that photographic trip to NZ! :)

Heya Chris,

Convoy sounds like a plan :)

Hey Brian,
Cheers, great to be here and lurk all these wonderful threads. Hope to have some work up in the new year when I can finally get some of it scanned. I'm from Bendigo, which is not too far...

Hi Michael
Thanks for the welcome! I'll head on over to the other thread and poke around. Cheers!

Hi Lachlan,
I hail from Bendigo, central VIC. Used to be a quiet country town but now a bit too big for my tastes. Now it's not so easy to pitch a tripod in the middle of the main street! :D

A big hello from Oz! A recent member of this rather fine site, so I thought I'd better say hi and let you all know a little something about myself (briefly, promise!)

Basically I've been an avid...

Hi all,

This is my first post on the forums and I thought I'd show everyone my fixer-upper, a Toyo 45G! Currently I think it has the 150mm Schneider lens attached, but there is also a Schneider...
