Anyone have knowledge about the Wista Focussing Cloth... good, bad, indifferent? I'm considering purchasing their 33"x39" Velvet cloth (green and black), advertised as "without Touch Fasteners." But... firstly I have not idea what a touch fastener is, and secondly... how well it it will work on a Linhof Master Technika. Assuming that since Wista and Linhof are fairly similar it should work well. Not a cheap item, so hoping for some input on how well they work in use.

I realize focus cloths have been discussed considerably on this Forum... and I've read with interest all discussions over the last few months. I started out with double black T-shirts which worked OK... then purchased a BlackJacket after reading glowing reports others had posted, but the BlackJacket does not meet my likings and I've gone back to black T-shirts (the BlackJacket will be offered for sale very shortly). Hoping to find something else that works well.

Works fine. Has velcro to keep it snug. Photomark stocks them.

Thanks Bob... called them and they talked me out of the Wista... sold me a CPM Delta instead. Fellow says the Wista clothes they can get doesn't have the velcro... only the elastic. Appreciative of the info. -Glenn-

Glenn,

I vood highly recommend the Ebony version because it can be used as a water-proof covering if you are caught out in a rainstorm. They are waterproof.

A forum member name Rob Skeoch sells them.

Glenn,

Make sure you also look at the Black Jacket hoods.

The ventilated one is great in the heat!!

My self I got a reflector cloth from calumet online auction, total cost to me 20.00
its a CalumetMedium 3D Flat Front Panel, Silver/Black 44x58" and it works fine , But then again I am not that fussy , but the panel does have a velcro tab in each corner:
