Yeah, sounds like the same one. I haven’t got any other communication means sadly.

I'm afraid I've just had a bounce back from the mail server due to the mailbox no longer existing. That was a Hotmail.fr account, I don't know if Asha had another one too?

I've got an email address for him, but the last time I spoke with him via it was March last year. I've just dropped him an email so will update if I hear back.

I think everyone's insurance policies will be different, so the only way to know those answers would be for you to contact your own insurance provider.

Thanks for the recommendation Karl, but I don’t offer the 679 anymore as I designed my own Six:6 (6x6) Six:9 (6x9) Six:12 (6x12) and the new Six:17 (6x17) instead

The Sony QX units already had MicroSD/Sony Memory Stick holders built in, so images were stored direct to those. They could also be transferred to a mobile phone using the Sony Play Memories App (as I do from my A7 to iPhone). The QX unit was basically the lens mount/sensor/processor/memory...

Sony made a brand specific version of this in 2014 with the QX1 (20mp crop sensor) and QX10 (Rx100 sensor) https://www.sony.co.uk/store/product/ilceqx1lb.eu/ILCE-QX1-Lens-Style-Camera-with-20-1MP-Sensor There was basically a phone clip so you would use your mobile as the display/control, using...

As per the post above, a 617 holder moves the film plane back by about 30-40mm, to allow for the image circle to cover the full width of the frame, without being clipped by the 4x5 sized opening. As a result, the minimum bellows extension then increases by the same 30-40mm, meaning that if the...

Glad it's all sorted for you Nige, happy to help (y)

Lol, thanks for the glowing praise ;)

If you want to send the whole camera instead, I’m happy to take a proper look at both the film back and body. I made quite a lot of changes between the early acrylic Kickstarter cameras and the latest ones I built last year, so I’m sure I can get to the bottom of any issues on your camera.

The simplest way to identify if there’s a light leak when the camera is setup is to go into a dark room and point a bright torch (I usually use the one on my phone) into the front of the camera with the lens/board removed. You can also reach into the front of the bellows with the torch and...

Hi. I’m happy to take a look at the back if you want to post it across to me. I’ll send you my address via pm. Although, looking at your negatives, I’d expect light coming in from the top to cause a lighter band horizontally across the frame, rather than one half of the image vertically?

Hi all, I thought I'd share my latest updates here, for everyone who isn't on my mailing list. Firstly, I've had to make the call to take my Carbon Adventurer off sale for the time being, due to the cost of carbon fibre increasing by just over 300% since June. Unfortunately, it's not currently...
