Thanks, I’ve ordered the column on that site.

I have a Compact Advance which works quite well, but I came to use it for astrophotography with a tracker and soon realised it's limitations. It comes with a removable column with the 3-way camera fitting on one end. I was hping there would be a replacement column available that would fit this...

This time last year they came in handy for my 3-day, 2 night bike ride camping trip from Wales to London - zoom in to see the canisters (and film dev bottles) All on my bike by ~~Mike~~, on Flickr

After another long hiatus from any sort of photography (except the iphone sort), I dug out an old Kodak 6x9 folder from a box this morning during a clear out... I remember buying it at a charity shop for 20 quid about a year ago and seeing that it only took 620 film, wrote it off as a project...

I've been AWOL for the last few months - off riding my bike and not touching my cameras or visiting this forum. Such is life. :thinking:

Gutted I missed this!

Thanks for the info joxby - I was searching for a US manufacturer or plant that makes Ilford film, but came up naught. It's staggering how much cheaper it is across the pond. Wondering what import duties will be on film, though that just seems bizarre - they import from us and we import from...

Well, if it's manufactured in the States, then it would be cheaper there - larger buying force likely, therefore lower prices unless I've missed something? I know the same is true for other things made in the states such as high-end audio/studio equipment.

joxby, if that's true, the world has well and truly gone mad.

Hi all, I recall being involved in trying to get some sort of bulk ordering off the ground, but looking back through emails from Harman and Fujifilm, it appeared that they either would not supply 'small' quantities (100 rolls of 120) or that they'd only supply to a VAT registered business that...

... putting scans in the Photos from Film forum..

.

Well, 32mp is pretty close, I'd imagine, to the quality you'd get from medium format film scanned at 3-4K dpi, so there's that.

TBH, I don't use any film over 400 ISO, so couldn't comment, but on everything 400 and below it's very good stuff, with the ability to control contrast,grain and sharpness with different dilutions and developing times.

Well, my compliments then, Danny :naughty: I agree with freecom2 - try it yourself. Get yourself the kit you need and give it a bash - B&W dev'ing is really easy, with colour only a little tougher, but not much. For B&W I simply use Rodinal R09 developer (or Studinol which is the same thing)...
