Thanks friends!!
Arrived home yesterday, not being able to read my mail until now.
Lots of snow and very cold weather on this 9'th expedition, fortunately no lost fingers or limbs! Aprox 500 new sheets to be developed.
Backpacking in Tibet during January and Febuary is a team approach, two local hired and very skilled assistants helped me with the 40 kg of equipment. Doing this alone would be stupid and dangerous, they did a great job and deserve credit!
Both Linhofs and Phillips are great equipment, as long as one remember that the Phillips camera is more vulnerable than the Linhof and need more protection. A total of 2 cameras were damaged this time, all lenses survived.
The only big problem with the cold environment is that the equipment gets so cold that the rangefinder window freezes on the linhof if breathing on it. The Phillips 8x10 is nicer to handle, dosent feel as cold due to the materials used - one only have to be carefull when breathing under the focusing cloth, the matte-screen quickly become covered with ice.
To Bob Carnie: Believe I got the images you requested, lets discuss if we go Pyro, or D76 this time!
Martin, Bob, Henry, Adam.... thanks again guys for your greetings and concern - lets go for a beer soon!
