Gary on the lencarta website there are two soft boxes the same dimensions one for flashgun/speedlight and one for studio flash. I was going to use my smart flash with it not speedlight. Unless the dimensions on the website are wrong. ( not larger pro fold one). Thanks for the tip for the...

Thanks very much for the manual pdf sure it will come in handy.

Ok guys, just got a Yashica 635 off bay of evil. Now this is my first TLR, it's a bit tatty, but seems useable. My problem is getting the empty spool in. I pull the dial in the left but it still seems to obstruct the empty spool. I don't want to force it, and would be concerned I won't be able...

Cheers Thanks, quite excited to try the camera out.
