Looks lovely - but heavy!

Very nice and actually quite light. Don't forget that a decent lens is going to add about 50% on to the price.

@Hamish Gill is still trying a 5x4 MPP field camera belonging to a friend of mine that is for sale (similar to this). The same friend is also selling his mahogany folding camera which is a step up from a Shen Hao and would be a similar price but with extras I would guess. I can ask if ever you are interested.

Very nice looking thing!
Ice pretty much decided to just handover the cash Pete! I will use it eventually ... And apart from anything else, I really like the thing!
I want to try it in the studio at some point!

 

[Pete Askew]

Good choice. Dave has just got back from his holiday. He asked if I knew if you were still interested before he went and I've been meaning to call you to discuss. You have his number don't you?

Look at getting a speed graphic, you can then shoot barrel lenses - also don't forget that there aren't any places that develop large format film so you would need to learn development as well.

I think so ... I need to sort out with you the other bits that are his too!
Are you about tomorrow @Pete Askew ?

 

[Pete Askew]

Yes, I'll be in the office all day.

 

[Hamish Gill]

I shall give you a buzz!
