I use anything from Sunny 16, an iPhone app, to a Sekonic spot meter. I would like to be able to use built-in meters but I find that with ageing cameras, their reliability is doubtful and linked to...

I've only ever used three lenses in 4x5 - 90mm, 150mm, and 300mm. It didn't take long before I decided to sell on the 300mm. Of the remaining two, if I had to pick one it would be the 150mm.

Interesting to see you got away with using a tripod, John - the Beamish website now states "the use of tripods, monopods, supplementary lighting or drones is not permitted." Perhaps they only enforce...

Les

Did the other equipment go with the enlarger ? If you still have the masking frame I'd be interested. I'm on the western edge of Newcastle myself.

I managed to buy one of the Nova darkroom tents second-hand. It does the job, but it's quite cramped with a 4x5 enlarger and a Nova 12*16 processor. It's also not particularly sturdy and I often have...
