Intrepid cameras have been working on the new lens and shutter.

Great to see some innovation.

I want to tell you a little bit about something we have been working on for the last year or so, something I think you are going to really like.

Haha sorry for bad day @FishyFish , id have been the same, one significant mistake and it i just cant be bothered for the rest of the trip. Ive come to terms now I’m not paying £10 per sheet but more £100 for that one incredible shot and 9 burnt sheets

I'll add to this. Intrepid now are making 5x4 film holders, with 5x7 and 10x8 about to appear. As far as I know, the only 5x7 holders now made are (expensive) wooden ones, so this is welcome news to those of us who use the format. I examined the 5x4 holders at the Photography Show and was impressed.

In case people don't realise the hidden advantage of 5x7, it lies in panoramics. If you shoot 6x17 and want to use a conventional enlarger, you need a 5x7 or larger one. Given that Intrepid also make half dark slides (the half is the width, not a reference to 50% transmission of light) you can use a 5x7 camera to take your 6x17 panoramics. Rather more cheaply on the equipment side than buying a 6 17 camera I suspect.

The other interesting snippet from the show came from Harman who hinted that PanF could be coming in sheet form.

That should make @Woodsy happy, IIRC!
