West Midlands LF weekend April/May
A few here on the forum are interested/thinking about moving up to LF (large format) photography. This was prompted by discussion with GodOldNorm, and PM's with others.
At the moment the date is fluid any time from Easter Friday - 15th April through all of May. The idea is full hands on experience with a variety of cameras and lenses for those wanting to try LF for the first time, including various methods of film processing. The location is the Wyre Forest area (Kidderminster), and includes the Severn Valley Railway. Users of other formats welcome to join us. Ian |

Hi Ian
Great idea - count me in. I'm flexible as to when although Madam and I often try and do a week in Cornwall late May ~ early June - missing half term hols if possible. I'd probably stay in somewhere like Kidderminster for the Fri, Sat and may-be Sun night. I've always wanted to shoot at the SVR Loco Sheds - if that appeals to enough of us. Martin |

I can make it for a day preferably a Saturday, Would anyone mind if I run my rule and vernier caliper over their camera? I am looking for inspiration and ideas on building a one off large format camera for my own use. Or, I maybe tempted to restore a camera if it ticks most of my boxes. I will bring "my brick" Fuji GW670 lll I'm sure it is every bit as heavy as some 5x4's but not as flexible.

No problem Norm, I have a Wista 45DS you can check over, you can also see my home made 6x6 field camera which is a prototype for a 6x17.5x4 camera I'll build in a few months.
I'm sue there'll be different cameras as well. I also have quite a few camera parts from a variety of wood/brass cameras none 5x4 but you could get an idea what to look out for. Ian |

West Midlands LF weekend
Hi Ian,
I might be able to turn up one of the days (if you actually stretch it over more than one day). Forget any route marches though, I'm too old and knackered. Access to the SVR sheds is not easy, they're up to their armpits in the dreaded H&S. Have you posted this anywhere else? Pete. |

Update
A quick update:
There are 6 possibly 7 photographers joining us at present. This is a cross forum event and there are 6 or 7 already committed to attending. As above he Saturday will be spent on or around the Severn Valley Railway starting in Kidderminster. There will be some new potential LF users joining us that day and equipment is available for them. There will be darkroom access later in the day. Some people are stopping for the weekend and there will be a varied day of shooting locations on the Sunday. Any LF user or potential user is welcome to join us. There is local accommodation available and a communal evening meal planned for the Saturday evening, with a print sharing discussion session after. Please PM is interested in joining us, there's already a few from this Forum & APUG / LFPF. Ian |
