What ever happened about that Browsercam purchase Dale D (Tom)?

Did you end up with 2 licences after all.

If so is there still one free.

I’d agree on that Walter, I still have a 50MM Distagon, but it is the F series lens with no shutter, got the focal plane Blad, wonderful too because it is f/2.8.

beautiful piece of glass ! and much sharper than anything else I have used.

At the risk of stretching this too far off topic, that would have to be the 50MM Distagon, for the Hasselblad C and similar. I used it for a large series of environmental portraits for a now-defunct Phoenix AZ business magazine. Nothing at all even comes close for showing the sweep of a room along with a foreground subject in visible-pores clarity. I wish I still owned that equipment, had to sell when I changed careers.

Polaroid, a major victim of digitisation, when I do any shots in my studio now I have nothing to pin up on the wall !

All the Polaroid stock I have left is now past it’s use bye date and that very rarely happened…

I had the exact same one. I used to use it on my Sinar and in the 80s when we started to have a bit of a recession, a lot of my clients realised that it was pointless to get me to shoot pictures on 5x4 that were only reproduced at about two inches square in a magazine. Film and processing price alone for 5x4, even back then, was around £30-40 (three sheets of 6118, a few Polaroid 55s). I could have told them that earlier, but they wouldn’t have listened; they’d always have 5x4 ‘just in case’. When the recession hit, they suddenly thought that 6x7cm might, just might, be a good idea. From that time on, I must have put thousands of rolls through that roll film back. I wore it out eventually and had to get another, although I forget the make of that one.

This reminds me of that quite a lot, although the focal- length disparity was not nearly so great, since I was only stepping down from 1016mm x 1270mm to 600mm x 700mm, not all the way to 24mm x 36mm. (This really reminds me why we used such massive film areas — you really do get the pixels you pay for!)

Being a still-life photographer, I rarely needed much in the way of wide angle, and I found that the apparent ‘lengthening’ of the focal length was quite handy. Less distortion, greater working distance etc. I did a lot of packs, and the greater length meant my 150mm Schneider, short on 5x4, was lovely. Mind you, I had a 210mm as well, but when shooting straight down on the floor, that could be a little long.

One of my professors at RIT had the other side of the equation — a lens plate that had a Hasselblad adapter on it, so you could use those amazing Zeiss lenses on your view camera. He shot food for a living, and swore by the Zeiss 120mm lens for 4x5 film. It had plenty of coverage (no vignetting), and there was something about that focal length that really woke up the food.

Cheers Walter,

yes they do look well made, actually made by the widepan company by the looks of it. they make really good wideangle film cameras.

will follow that up

thanks again

made me laugh that the ebay traders name in China is shoo - ting :-)

I have a trial site at: http://www.paulbradforth.com/sg/

It has an initially visible block of text which is replaced by a picture when you roll over one of the two thumbnails. When switching between thumbnails, the block of text shows briefly. I’ve tried various ‘Restore’ and ‘Sticky’ settings in the Action palette, but none of them seem to do the trick.

Does anyone know how I can stop the text showing between thumbnails? The answer is probably that it can’t, as I do want the text to show when the cursor is not over a thumbnail.

best wishes,
