Large Format Photography Australia

(I'll list this here first, if I don't get any interest I'll re-list on Photrio later on) I bought this about about 5 years ago with plans to restore it so I could print from 5x7 negatives, but I’ve since realised I’ve got too many “projects”, so this needs to go.

Thanks Maris, very kind of you.

I'm pleased to be able to say that the forum will continue. Alastair started the forum in about 2013, he handed it over to me in 2018, and as of Monday I've handed it over to Steve (an existing user here). I'm sure he'll be introducing himself shortly.

Sorry, I was a bit slow this time to nuke the spam. I'll leave Maris's reply intact however because it amuses me.

That's a long trip! Enjoy, and hope you have some good photographic opportunities.

Hi Maris,

Thanks for the great tips! I'll have to give some of those a try soon, especially the idea of blanking the two halfs and exposing twice.
