Argy Bargy on the internet? I'm all for it really - it shows we all are passionate about our interest. I'd much rather strong opinions than no opinion at all - and 'decisive closed statements' are just as strong opinions as mild 'counter-expletives'... :-) No-one loses an eye and we all might learn ...

"I would not give a moment's consideration to any of the wooden field cameras. They might be light, but that's about it." I agree with Lachlan! That's daft - I've carted my very wooden Wista around the world with a variety of lenses (65/135/300mm) and have never had any cause for complaint...

I do the same thing as Shane also! Great scanner - heaps better than the Canon 9900 somethingorother I had beforehand...

Marc!

I've bought them from Freestyle Photo http://www.freestylephoto.biz/454100-Printfile-Archival-Negative-Preservers-Holds-4-4x5-negatives-100-pack , and from Printfile directly http://www.printfile.com/45-4b_100.aspx . It's worth buying lots so the postage is less horrible - but that said, I think Fre...

I used to use the Klame sleeves, but then they stopped making them, so I bought some el cheapo ones from Vanbar, which weren't awesome (perfectly fine I guess, but the plastic material is really prone to scuffing, making the negatives hard to see without removing them), so then I bit the bullet and ...

Thanks Guys! That's over three days - two days of fine weather and one of 'challenging weather' :-) I also took my 'Texas Leica' (Fuji 6x8) along but haven't processed those rolls (Fuji Neopan 100) yet. All in all good practice for South Korea in a fortnight's time. I'm told the rain there 'may have...

Here's a link to scans of the 5x4" snaps I made...

Marc!

Crikey! Well done setting up all this Alastair! All the best for your future adventures...

Brisbane is grouse! It's 100 degrees warmer than Melbourne (which has cheered me no end), locals are ridiculously friendly, and so far I have walked about 29km around the city in three days, and shot 24 sheets of LF and 4 rolls of MF (6x8) film. The light has been good, and no-one has blinked an eye...

Fascinating - and I have 56 hours to decide whether the convenience of an incident meter with my iphone is (a) worth $99, and (b) will prove more useful than the Sekonic 748DR, Gossen Luna Pro F or Pocket Spot that I routinely carry about now... The stated EV sensitivity specs are certainly impressi...
