Tim,

The image of El Cap as with all the other pics were just

snapshots which have been taken over and over again, there are

not original, not new, not art, not very well done in fact. We have

all seen them from our friends and relatives. Poor quality and

uninspired photos do not make art art either (thank god that the

Kobal awards are finished!!!!).

Hi Brook,

Horesman do a Digiflex body in 2 flavours that take nikon lenses

and digi backs also I think there are others.

Go see www.robertwhite.co.uk they have info

Bob...

Just verbalising and ...

We keep talking about rules... I do, we all do BUT they are just

verbalisations of a majority opinion on 'whats works and does

not work for the majority of people at the time'... so we are not

following rules or breaking rules we are working to be accepted

by the majority or are not....

Hi,

If you are using colour film it is recommended not to use 'super

white' because there are artificial ' UV' whiteners in the paper

and could represent strangley.

Bye.

Hi Bjorn,

Sorry to come back to you but...

You said "orthopanchromatic" I presume you mean

'orthochromatic' which actually means the film is sensitive to

green aswell as blue and ultra-violet light. To look at it another

way it is not sensitive to red light. You can not say it is better

corrected colour wise than panchromatic film it is just different.

Sorry if I sound like a school teacher.

Hi Dan,

It would be interesting with a Boss screen too!!!

Bob

Q-T L Thank you for all the hard work. It's most appreciated. I feel

a little sad that there are few 'old timers' who don't wish to

contribute to the new forum on photo-net. We need everyone to

make this work, and continue what you have started.

Regards Bob Ashford

Hi everyone

We are here now. So, lets use it as we did the old. We can only advance if we talk to each other. We can only learn if we help each other. WE ARE HERE NOW - SO TALK, READ, WRITE, LEARN & ENJOY.

Bob.

Hi,

Please persevere, I have been using mine for about 6 months

and I am very pleased with the consistant results. Yes you have

to get to know it and I agree with Kenvin - we work in exactly the

same way.

Best regards Bob

Very strange, I remember talk of putting bromide in the tea of World

War II British soldiers to prevent the 'raising of the spirits'.

Hi Everyone,

This is just so funny (strange not Ha Ha), I friend and I working in

two different institutions have just been talking about a variation

of this same problem.

Our Minoltas and Sekonics are exactly the same in Contiuous

Mode (thats two Mins & two Seks) but the both Sekonics are one

stop under in FLASH MODE.

Interesting

<p>

Regards Bob Ashford

Thank you everyone for your replies.

If I can find the paint on rubber that would be great but I will

consider the patch stick and clamp method.

Have a great few days and remember family is forever.

Bob.

Hi everyone

Sorry if this has been asked before BUT.. what can I use to patch

some small pinholes in an old MPP red bellows.

<p>

Have a good Christmas (I have no legal department) and for

those not celebrating have a good time anyway.

Hi,

There should be a review in the British Journal of Photography

on Wednesday 28 Nov. It will compare to a unit 20x it's price!!!

By the way the transparency / neg area is 4 inches x 9 inches so

it will scan 4x5.

regards

Bob.

Hi,

I use a Logan matt cutter (a small handheld device) a large

cutting board, a heavy duty Steel rule, and a couple of G-clamps.

The most important part is a good supply of new sharp blades.

Regards Bob.
