Working rather than walking - work is a bad word but walk isn't!!!
A, yes, I see.... definitely a 4 letter word.

Yeah you should definitely list them here first. And not let @RaglanSurf know until everyone else has a chance....
Sad thing is I can't even remember what lenses I've got for my 54.
If you can find it that would be great.I have a spare v500 power brick around somewhere. Mine stopped working so I bought a new one accidentally plugged the old one in during set up and it worked.
If you can find it that would be great.
Don't you have a voltmeter? So cheap to buy everyone should have one, from checking volts to continuity (e.g if a wire is broken)

I think I may be able to help you with that.
Fujinon 135mm f5.6
Nikkor 180mm f5.6
Yamasaki telecongo 240mm f6.3
And an un-named brass lens which appears to be 150mm but has no shutter.
Thanks @steveo_mcg that's really appreciated, let me know about postage and I'll sort it out.Found it. I've got some scanning to do tomorrow so I'll double check it works and send it off.

Thanks, you're a proper gentDon't worry about it. I'm still owe you for the horizon postage.
Keep coming back to this one chap. You've really nailed that exposure; as I recall those clouds were quite dark.
I really need to send my frames off to peak. Still not done it yet :/
Yes I like both of those, Jonathan. Amazing how despite the contrast I couldn't find any blocked out shadows in that first one.
As you may have guessed, I took quite a lot at Godrevy, most of them nothing interesting happened. I do remember when I was processing them, thinking that I wouldn't want to be trying to take these in LF, as timing is so critical. A fraction of a second out in pressing the shutter and that's another fiver down the drain!
I'd be interested in knowing the shutter speeds. One of the downsides of my long exposure "play" (rather than experiment) was that I used aperture priority and exposure compensation, so only have my memory of the shutter sound plus the results to work out which shutter speeds work for which kind of situations! I'm guessing a couple of seconds for the first and half a second for the second... blimey, that looks odd!

I like how you can see the composition on the GG of my camera, despite the bright conditions!
Yeh, but your horizon is waaay off.

Love them both but the second one is awesome, full of doom, gloom and despair.Penultimate 2 from the B&W stuff I got from Cornwall. As usual, click for a clearer view

Do you mean what focal length for MF and 35 mm is equivalent to 135 mm on a LF camera? Because that would depend on whether it was 5 x 4 or 10 x 8 or ...Do you think a MF 6 x 9 camera would sort scratch the LF itch sort of? What's LF at 135mm the MF and 35mm equivalent of?

Ok, my take on Godrevy. I'm still unsure about what to do with my large format stuff, sometimes I look at the shots and think 'wow' and at other times it's a 'meh'.
