I'd like to praise two LF products I've gotten recently. Someone might already have posted about this stuff, so sorry if this is redundant. These products are new to me.
First:
Saitta hand made LF ground glass protection cases. http://www.saittabags.com/bbl.php
He's a California based photographer who is also making a range of LF gear. I got a few of the gg protection cases (one is 11x14 case to protect my anti-newton glass for scanning), and I have to say they are excellent. I also got a couple of 4x5 film holder bags. Equally well made.
I spoke at length with Mr. Saitta on the phone. He's a very passionate LF photographer, and puts every once of pride into his gear.
Second:
Brilliant Ground Glass makes hand-made gg for various formats. He is a southern California photographer who sells through a store set up on eBay. http://stores.ebay.com/Brilliant-Gro...Q3amesstQQtZkm
His turn around time is exception. I had him make a couple of custom gg viewfinders for my old Graflex cameras, and got them in less than 5 business days.
He is very easy to work with, and his pricing is dirt cheap (for now).
Other than buying their gear, I have no affiliation with either of these manufacturers. Nor am I getting any breaks in pricing for mentioning them. I'm simply impressed with their stuff and want others to know about them.
Hope this is news you can use.
