Hi Folks,
I am setting myself up some bits and pieces for starting an adventure in LF! I've got a chamonix 045n-2 and the only remaining things I need to get before I can go and play is some film and a dark cloth. I did a one day workshop and there we used a btzs dark cloth. It seemed OK, but there was a definite gap between the bottom of the rear standard and the focusing bed (right term?) and light came in. Also, there seemed a lot of material in it, such that even with a gentle wind I was having to remove material from obscuring my view. I want to make using the LF camera as painless as possible.
I read about black jacket focusing cloths. The design makes sense but I wonder if
1) if you are using your arm to sheild wind and that hand with the loupe, how much of a pain is it to focus with...not sure I am that ambidextrous?
2) Is it generally good quality?
3) How waterproof is it?
Thanks
Graham
