To be honest, these are huge files to ask people to download, something more compact would really be appreciated.

You could always try SRB Film Services. If any adapter can be made, they can do it, albeit at a cost....

You should have been at ADAPS a couple of weeks ago when we did a live demo on how to process and print a black and white film. We felt that the digital photographers should experience seeing the image appear like magic on a piece of paper, and they found it absolutely fascinating.

Now they also understand better what Photoshop is mimicking, so it certainly wasn't a waste of time.

We probably have about half a dozen people who have started to use film for the first time and have been very happy to be given very nice enlargers and other equipment, of which there is a ready supply these days! These are the new life-blood for film in the future.

I think I'll shift this thread from Classifieds now it's served it Advert purpose.....

I've found a B&W catalogue, so I can be a bit more specific now.

MRC = multicoating
F-Pro = Standard filter mount, suitable for lenses as wide as 28mm or possibly some at 24mm.
KR3 = warming conversion filter. They have now started using the 81 series labelling, but they do give KR1.5 as being Skylight and KR4 as being 81B, so your KR3 is somewhere between an 81A and 81B. (K will be the German for Conversion and R will be Red. KB filters are blue.)

For those who don't know, B&W filters are made by Schneider Kreuznach.

The summary is: set the aperture ring to "A" and you will have all exposure functions as normal, apart from having to manually focus.

The SR system may ask you to input a focal length when you switch on.

A KR filter IIRC is a warming filter. The KR1.5 is a skylight, so you have something like an 81A there. 1.2x may be the exposure factor. MCR will be the coating info. F-Pro will be the series of filters from B&W that this one belongs to.

Jack, a magazine is for a wide variety of readers all of whom have different interests and expectations. It's the same down at the club where our programme is intended to appeal to everyone as often as possible. That doesn't mean that every week an individual gets their choice of material, just that at some point their requirements are considered in their turn.

Nothing is a wsate of time if somebody somewhere is interested.

Cards should always be formatted in the camera they are to be used in rather than in the computer.

All very true, but on the other hand if you have a high profile fashion shoot, will you hire Ben Kanarek or a 12 year old amateur?
