Hi everyone, I’ve been lurking for a few weeks and thought I’d better introduce myself! I’m Julian Calverley and I’m an advertising and landscape photographer based in the UK, about 45 minutes north of London. Read on (or not) for the longer version... After attending art college, working for a year or so in an E6 lab and then spending a year or so assisting, I set my studio and darkroom up back in 1988. I shot film until about 2004. When finally moving over to a digital workflow, I... Read more

I have been using a Dell Area 51 with 32 G of RAM for several years, limited to Windows 10. The computer needs to be replaced. I have big files, but 32 G of RAM has been fine. I appreciate that the Area 51 contains four hard drives, but not necessary in a replacement. Any suggestions appreciated.

Ok it looks like it would be pretty simple especially compared to a mirrorless cam, and I believe it is, but for my own comfort I just want to know what to expect and not have any surprises. Remove the 10 tiny screws around the ring, remove ring, and then the glass looks like it should be free to come out and can be swapped and that's it. Correct? This is just an IQ3 I got a good deal on so I'm less hesitant to do it myself compared to than if I paid a more outrageous amount, and having... Read more

Do any of you have the lens in practical use or a link to pictures, taken with this lens on a digital back here on earth? : ) I bought this lens at auction years ago and have always wanted to have it adjusted, but would like to find out beforehand whether it is worth it. Any further information is also of interest. Thank you very much ​

How about some pics from IPhones or otherwise. I'll start with an Iphone shot from the doctor's office. The Iphone is my idea of the ultimate for discrete shooting cuz nobody knows what you are doing,you could be playing a game.

I am selling 2 ALPA HR ALPAGON lens to a good friend who is helping me out and I do not want to rip him off. What would be a fair / good price for him to pay for each of the follow: All lenses are in mint condition and very light used professionally. His current system uses Rodenstock 250 e-shutters. These Rodenstock 250 e-shutters are near impossible to find and both have shutter counts under 1500. 1. The Alpa HR ALPAGON 4.0/ 40mm Rodenstock in Rodenstock 250 e-shutters - Gold Band 2...

There have been a couple of references to the Actus DB2 recently so I thought I'd illustrate a DB2 feature that may be useful to a user or future user. The specifications of the DB2 mention that the swing limit on the front standard is 360 degrees, but neither the manual nor Cambo's website explain what benefit this bizarre and puzzling feature might bring. What possible point is there to a fully rotating front standard? When using graduated ND filters on a DB2 the shape of the front... Read more

I'm looking for a clean copy of the aforementioned lens in sound working condition, thank you.

I've enjoyed using this ball head but it's a bit overkill for the 0 series Gitzo it sits on. Decided to go lighter. The Sunway Arca clamp was made for this specific ballhead. It's not quite up to the finish quality of the ball head but works fine. I've added a stainless through rod for easier tightening. There are a few minor bright spots here and there as pictured. $185 including Conus ground shipping A few highlights: Aspheric ball provides increased friction as the monoball® tips Weighs...
