    Hi from Ireland

    Hi,

    I've read the forum in the past, so I thought I should at last join up.

    I've most recently been shooting on medium format digital, but I want to get back to using my 5x4 Wista. I also have a Hunter Penrose horizontal process camera in my garage - its not very practical as it has its own railway track! It can use about 16x12 material.

    Regards,

    Peter

    There probably aren't too many of those left around here-
    though I remember going to a place at the top of Capel Street in the late seventies for camera work- they had a few big ones on tracks-

    Do you have lenses for that big one as well?

    Welcome to the site, by the way-

    Hi Joseph,

    Yep I have the lens - its 460mm Cooke lens. I also have the glass circular half-tone screens for it - I think these were very expensive at the time, not so sure that they're worth much now! I used to do a bit of process work for screen printing, etc, but that's all gone now....
