They’re durable and take up a small amount of space in a bag or pocket. If you have several lenses, you can use stepping rings (p10) to adapt different sizes. However, if you like the idea of using lots of filters, and in particular graduated types, a square filter system makes a lot of sense. They are mostly made from optical resin rather than glass - no difference in image quality, but more difficult to handle and rather more prone to scratches - but usually less expensive. General purpose filters UV and Skylight Essential protection, so buy one for each lens. The difference is small but significant. UV filters are colourless, improve contrast and reduce blue casts caused by excess UV light. Skylight filters have a slight warming tint, useful for colour slide photography where a blue cast can be caused by a dull day, electronic flash etc. Polarising Eliminates reflections off most surfaces, enriches colours, especially blue skies (when used at right angles to the prevailing light). The two types have exactly the same effect. LINEAR suits most manual focus cameras (except a few which use a beam splitter for the metering system); CIRCULAR is the correct type for all autofocus cameras. Polarisers lose up to 3 stops of light, depending on the position selected, so you might need a tripod with slow films. Neutral density Help when stuck with a fast film in bright light, or where you deliberately want a long exposure. Available in x2 (1 stop), x4 (2stops), and x8 (3 stops). Filters for colour photography Warm-up filters Available in varying strengths from 81A (the weakest), to 81EF. Reduce blue casts caused by mid-day light, and add a pleasing warmth to many subjects. Try an 81B as a start point. Interior photography As slide film is balanced for ‘middle of the day’ light (5500ºK), tungsten interior light will give an excessively orange look. This is corrected by the use of a deep blue 80A filter, or if using photoflood lamps, an 80B. Fluorescent lamps give a green cast: an FL-W corrects white tubes, FL-D daylight type tubes. 85B for tungsten films used in daylight. All 85 series can be used to give a very warm effect where 81 types are not enough. 82 series (also known as ‘morning and evening’) correct reddish tones when colour temperature falls at the beginning or end of the day. Black and white filters Yellow Essential to give any contrast between clouds and sky. Yellow-Green Theoretically perfect rendition of landscapes, correcting foliage and sky. Orange The recommended for UK skies. Cuts through haze and increases contrast. Subdues freckles on faces, but can render foliage too dark. Red Exaggerates cloudscapes. Dark blue skies become virtually black. Excellent for cutting haze in distant shots. Good for rendering detail in brickwork. Anything green, however, comes out very dark. Green Ideal for predominantly green landscapes. Adds a healthy tanned look to outdoor portraits. Light blue (82C or 38) Good for tungsten light portraits, and will also enhance any outdoor mist or haze. Infra-red b/w You will need at least a Red 25 (e.g. Hoya). Better still is the Red 29 from Heliopan. These still allow a lot of the visible light spectrum through, so to get the classic ‘soot and whitewash’ look with such films as Kodak HIE you will need something like Hoya’s IR72, a Lee 87 or Heliopan RG780, or the Cokin 007 89B filter. 2 Speed Graphic Hoya Hoya is the world’s largest optical glass manufacturer, supplying many leading camera and lens manufacturers with their raw glass. There are two good reasons for choosing Hoya (and why we do not sell ‘anybrand’ filters like your local dealer): Hoya Product Codes Standard: HY followed by size and suffix HMC: HYH followed by size and suffix Pro-1: HYP followed by size and suffix e.g. 52mm HMC red is ‘HYH52R’ Hoya filters are made only by Hoya, and there is strict batch to batch consistency – unlike other names, who may source from several manufacturers. OUR PRICES SAVE UP TO 25% ON RRP Apart from graduated and Softeners, which are acrylic, all Hoya filters are glass! Many cheaper brands use CR39 optical resin which damages more easily. Pro-1 super-multicoated Twelve layers of coating on the UV and Skylight filters enables an average light transmission to 99.7%. The mounts are just 3mm thick, enabling use without vignetting with the widest of wide-angle lenses. Pro-1 Circular Polarisers have 7 layers of coating on the rear surfaces, are 5mm deep, and won’t vignette with an 18mm lens.

Schneider Optical Works, B+W manufactures filters to the highest optical and mechanical standards. Schott optical glasses are married to a black anodised brass mount. This has less of a tendency to bind on the lens than the more common aluminium type. The filter glass is held in place with a screw ring, rather than a spring circlip, for added security. Most filters are now supplied in the slim 4mm ‘F-Pro’ mount. Standard polarisers are 9mm, and slimline polarisers are available in the MRC series. These are 5mm deep, have no front thread, and are supplied with push-on cap. Käsemann polarisers have higher efficiency polarising foils, and are edge-sealed to protect against humidity. The tables on this page show only a selection of the vast range of B+W filters. We can order any filter, with delivery in around 3 weeks if in stock at the factory. B+W Product Codes Standard Coated BW followed by size and suffix e.g. 62mm KR1.5 (1A) is BW621A MRC Multi-Coated BWM followed by size and suffix e.g. 62mm Med Yellow 022 is BWM62Y22 FREE when you spend £50 or more on B+W filters A 68 page A4 B+W Filter Handbook. As well as detailing all the B+W product lines, this is full of useful extra information on filter use, transmission curves, factors etc. The Multi Resistant Coating used on MRC filters comprises 4 layers of antireflection coating, plus a final layer on either side which resists water and dust. This makes them easy to clean and resistant to scratches. Together with the Schott glass and black anodised brass mounts, they can lay claim to being the finest filters money can buy. Slimline MRC filters are 3mm thick (UV or Sky) or 5mm (circular polariser) and have no front thread. 4 Speed Graphic On the left, filter surface with conventional coating; on the right after MRC coating.

Adaptors are available from 49mm to 82mm, plus Hasselblad and current Rollei bayonet fittings. P Series filters come in a protective plastic case. Cokin P Starter Kits Neutral Density Grad Kit Contains P121L, P121M and P121S (1, 2 and 3 stop) graduates, plus a P series filter holder. CKPNDKIT £30.00 Cokin filters are square or oblong, and are made from CR39 optical resin, which means they are strong and light. Unlike glass filters, Cokin filters slide into a filter holder which is then attached to the lens by means of an adaptor ring. As well as a generally lower price than the glass equivalent, the Cokin system offers a wide variety of graduated filters, which can be adjusted vertically in the holder. Most useful of all are the Neutral Density types which can balance the exposure for, say, a bright overcast sky against a darker foreground. Z-Pro Series X-Pro Series New 100mm wide filters, compatible with other 100mm filter systems, supplied in suede-style pouch with anti-static lining. There is no Cokin filter holder available for these filters, so we offer our customer a special introductory deal (see below) on the Lee holder. 100mm size filters will be necessary if ultra wide-angle lenses of 17 or 18mm are to be used. At 130mm wide, this is the largest filter system on the market, and has been tested with ultra-wide lenses in every format (e.g. 14mm on 35mm). Made to stringent standards, using newly developed 4mm CR39 optical resin, which shows better optical transmission properties than similar thinner filters. Adaptors are available from 62mm to 112mm, plus a Hasselblad and Rollei bayonets. There is also a Universal Adaptor which attaches via 4 screws for lenses with damaged threads or without a front ring. Each X-Pro filter comes in a suede pouch with static-free lining.

Occasionally-used filters can be adapted by means of one of these rings. Stepping down by about 4mm on standard or tele focal lengths is usually OK, but definitely not for wide-angles. It’s best therefore to standardise on your largest lens size and step up to this from smaller sizes.

The EX finish matches the look of many high end marque lenses, especially those from Nikon. We can usually get any Sigma lens not in stock by the following day, which means delivery to you within 2-3 days of placing the order. The 70-200/f2.8 AF-S VR IF-ED, to give its full title, is the latest in a long line of advanced fast professional telephoto zooms from Nikon. It replaces, and is smaller than, the 80200 IF-ED, and adds Vibration Reduction.

The image circle of a DX lens is designed to cover just the sensor (so it won’t work with film cameras). The 10.5mm/f2.8 is a 180º fisheye, and it’s joined by a compact 17–55/f2.8 zoom. 12 Speed Graphic Special purpose 60/f2.8 AF-D Micro .....................372.00 105/f2.8 AF-D Micro ...................659.60 200/f4 AF-D Micro ....................1099.00 70-180/f4.5-5.6 AF-D Mic ............845.00 TC14E/2 AFS converter ................338.00 TC20E/2 AFS converter ................279.95 Every lens manfacturer has two or three different quality levels in its range – that’s why there’s a £1000 difference between the ‘amateur’ and ‘professional’ standard zoom. Mind you, stopped down to f11 the difference is often tricky to spot, but in the middle there are frequently lenses delivering excellent performance and the 70300/f4-5.6 APO Macro Super is one such. ‘Apo’ means apochromatic, which means the lens corrects the tendency of colours to focus at different points, especially apparent in a long focus lens, resulting in colour fringing and loss of perceived sharpness. Three low dispersion glass elements do the job here, and currently the lens is coming with a FREE achromatic AML close-up lens.

The reason is an optical one: they lose light - 1 stop for the 1.4x, and 2 stops for the 2x. Camera manufacturers design their autofocus sensors to work with lenses of f8 or faster, and so when a 2x converter is attached to a 70-300mm zoom with an aperture range of f4-5.6, this becomes f8-f11, and at the 300mm end, autofocusing stops. It’s only really a problem however, if you’re photographing moving subjects. Kenko Pro-300 converters Kenko 7-element 2x autofocus converters Double the power of your lens. Fitting between the lens and the body, they retain all metering functions, and are ideally suited to focal lengths above 50mm. The 7-element design and multicoating keep performance loss to a minimum. Please note the restrictions regarding autofocusing in the panel above. £88.95 KE2X7C Kenko 2x MC-7E Canon AF KE2X7M Kenko 2x MC-7E Minolta AF KE2X7N Kenko 2x MC-7E Nikon AF KE2X7P Kenko 2x MC-7E Pentax AF High grade multicoated converters designed for lenses 100mm or longer, and using low dispersion Hoya glass.

Approx increase: 35mm 2 stops; medium format 3 stops; large format 4-5 stops. Benefits include: Better viewfinder clarity Improved ease and accuracy of focusing Easier composition Intenscreens are produced using a special surface coating and high quality corrective element which produces a tighter cone of light. The effect is a much brighter and clearer image, especially in low light levels. They are an ideal choice if you usually use long lenses, or for macro photography. All screens are available in plain or gridded versions without rangefinder; most have a choice of split-image, which can be combined with either type. Screens for AF cameras do not have focusing marks. Fitting is a simple process (check camera manufacturer’s instructions). PLEASE STATE CAMERA TYPE AND SCREEN COMBINATION WHEN ORDERING.

This new series of ball heads have several unique features, and because we buy direct and cut out the usual middleman profit margin, they also offer exceptional value for money compared to similar heads. The ball, which is the heart of the head, is produced on a CNC machine, ensuring absolute precision and is coated to give silk-smooth operation. The model number indicates the ball diameter in mm. All FLM heads from the CB24 upwards have all parts machined from high quality aluminium alloy, giving great strength with light weight. Operating controls are all of different sizes to reduce the chance of operator error, and are secured so that they won’t fall out. shown with CB 38FT Power Release Compact but strong, the Mini Plate which attaches to the camera is just 4g, and the base section 60g.

This is your last chance to own a fantastic piece of German engineering! Speed of attachment The rectangular or hexagonal shapes used by other manufacturers can slow the process of attachment by forcing the user to carefully align the plate. The circular Qtop plate can be attached anywhere – by feel alone if necessary. No levers Levers are quick, but can snag – and they do stick out. Q-top uses a spring-loaded push button. It can be operated by either hand, won’t snag and is difficult to damage. FAX: 01420 543 544 Extra security Another small lever is the usual method of preventing accidental detachment of the plate. The Q-top uses an elegant and fool-proof solution. A second small indented button is located on the opposite side to the main push button, so that the safety latch is automatically released when this is depressed. Panoramas a cinch Inside the camera shoe are indentations at 30º intervals. By slight depression of the release button, the camera can be rotated to allow composite panoramic photography.

Well yes, sometimes they are, but when you want to guarantee absolute sharpness, accept no substitute. However, in the interests of practicality and portability, your next best friend is undoubtedly going to be a monopod. Think about it – your two legs and a monopod makes – a tripod! Not quite as stable as the real thing perhaps, but surprisingly effective at giving you possibly an extra two stops in a tricky lighting situation. It’s very easy to strap a monopod to a conventional camera bag, and particularly easy if you have a rucksack – most have loops on the side to take one. Main considerations when buying are the weight of equipment you expect it to carry, the working height (most of the ones we sell are OK for a 6ft person), the weight, and the length when collapsed. You will need to budget for a ball and socket head or ‘tilt top’, as most of the models we sell do not come with a tilting device, and without one, portrait format shots will be impossible! Be also advised that Gitzo and Manfrotto models have quite a wide platform at the top, so small ball heads won’t have the height to allow a camera to tilt a full 90º. It’s best to stick to one of the many suitable Manfrotto heads for these. Spiked Feet / Suction Cup 236 (right) replaces the rubber foot on 479, 479-4, 434, 679, 680 and 681 series monopods.

LYVF £24.95 Speed Graphic 31 One leg good, three legs better TRIPODS The essential accessory You can take all the auto-shift programs and subject-sensitive metering patterns which are built in to today’s 35mm cameras, but it’s a fact that more otherwise excellent pictures are spoilt by camera shake than by incorrect exposure, and yet many photographers who would quite rightly regard themselves as serious about their craft, spurn the use of a decent tripod. Yes, they can be a nuisance to lug around, and a fag to put up and down, but ask any professional who earns their living from photography which is their second most important item of equipment after the camera, and the answer will invariably be – a tripod. The next pill to swallow is the fact that the bigger and heavier the tripod, the more effective it will be in damping vibrations and providing a steady support in windy conditions, and that the lighter the camera, the heavier the tripod should be. But we must be realistic, and for most people the choice will be dictated by price, and the weight and size of tripod which they are prepared to carry around. A studio-based tripod, or one which is used for wedding work will usually be of conventional design, with the ability to adjust height quickly, but without the need for too much flexibility. The Manfrotto 055 series is a popular choice. For nature photographers, the Benbo design has many advantages, not least of which is the waterproof bottom tube, but the single lock for both legs and centre column can be unwieldy for the unpractised (a bit like wrestling with a set of bagpipes), so it’s less efficient as a general purpose design. The Gitzo Explorer series has much of the flexibility with individual leg adjustment. Heads are a personal choice, and many photographers end up with several – each having an advantage for a particular job. It’s important to have a head which is big enough for the camera weight, with a bit in reserve. If you need help or more information – just ask! 32 Speed Graphic Velbon Maxi 343E Designed to a brief from renowned US journalist Herbert Keppler, this is an all-metal tripod weighing less than 2lbs, and folding to under 20ins, yet with a good working height.

The result is a unique leg locking system – just pull each leg out and it’s immediately locked in position. To unlock, press a lever at the top and push back in. It’s that simple, and the internal mechanism exerts more locking power the more weight is applied, so it carries a healthy 6kg load. The top of the centre column detaches to create a low level head support – there’s no need to detach the head – and the whole column can be set horizontally. Other features include an ‘upside down’ tube design which helps prevent mud from the ground getting in the leg sections, and a detachable carrying strap which can be used to support a bag or other counterweight.

It’s available in three versions, including two with carbon fibre legs. All three models have a maximum loading of 6kg. Gitzo recommend the G1275M and G1276M heads to partner the Explorer tripods.

GZ2227 £389.00 G2228 4-section carbon fibre legs. Height 164cm; closed 56cm. Weight 2kg. GZ2228 £444.00 Gitzo were pioneers with carbon fibre, and these tripods offer a 30% weight reduction as compared to the equivalent size aluminium Classic model without any sacrifice of rigidity. Gitzo’s exclusive process of pull winding of carbon fibres to a tube thickness of 1.5mm ensures high tensile and compression strength, and superior absorption of vibration. From this . . . . . .to this As Gitzo put it, the first ‘rock solid’ tripod – and the reason? Basalt tripods are made from just that; the rock which is created from volcanic lava! Gitzo’ process extracts, crushes and melts the basalt at 1500ºC and then forces it through tiny holes to create fibres. These are then mixed with resin and shaped to form the leg tubes. The result is a 20% weight saving compared to aluminium, with only a modest price premium. Basalt tripods also have nonrotating leg sections and reinforced removeable spiked feet, and are available at present in Series 0, 1, and 2. 40 Speed Graphic Weekend Series 0 Load capacity 3kg.

Prices and details are shown on pages 17-19 Unique to Novoflex, this reverse adaptor fits all Canon EOS cameras and retains full lens functions, including AF (although it’s of minor importance), and TTL metering. It also enables extremely high magnifications to be achieved with prime or zoom lenses. For example, a 28–105mm lens reversed will give a range of magnifications from 1:7 at the 105mm end to 2.8:1 at the 28mm end, with superb quality – which is much more flexible than a typical macro lens. Greater magnifications may be achieved when used with a bellows unit. The adaptor comes with a 58mm thread, and can be adapted with stepping rings. NVREV £189.00 Reversing rings A camera lens becomes a superb macro lens when reversed on the body, giving a very high magnification. Older camera bodies which can meter in stop-down aperture-priority mode can use these simple adaptors, so, sorry all you EOS users. . . .

Usually, but not always, the connections are the same across one make of camera. Sometimes features which are only available on top models are not supported by independent make flashguns, but they will usually work fine in basic TTL modes.

Uses 2 x AAA batteries. £93.00 MZ28CS2C Canon E-TTL/FE MZ28CS2M Konica Minolta TTL/ADI MZ28CS2N Nikon i-TTL/i-TTL BL is a term used with guns designed for older SLRs with no dedicated contacts. These guns are said to have one, two or more ‘auto stops’. By setting a switch on the gun to one of these fstops, and then the same f-stop on the lens, the flash will automatically give the correct exposure up to the working distance indicated. More auto stops = more flexibility. Manual settings disable any automation and allow the user to select maximum power, or less, usually adjustable in one stop increments. Fill-in flash is commonly used for portraiture outdoors to reduce harsh shadows – as seen at most weddings – or to balance foreground and background light. For example, turn your subject away from the sun and they stop squinting, but you will probably get an under-exposed subject. Many dedicated guns now offer automatic fill-in flash options, but if you have an older auto gun, a quick way of achieving the preferred 1:4 ratio is to set the flash aperture two stops wider than the aperture set on the lens. Some flash terms explained Digital compact Non-dedicated Guide numbers are an indication of how powerful a flashgun is. The normal reference is quoted as GNXX m@100ISO. The higher the number, the more powerful the flash, but a word of caution! Manufacturers have taken to quoting guide numbers at the telephoto end of the gun’s zoom setting, whereas fixed head guns will be related to 50mm focal length. We indicate the nominal 50mm GN on guns with zoom heads to allow easy comparison.

The latest SCA3002 adaptors are re-programmable, so that as camera makers introduce new features, some modules can be upgraded at modest cost. These new modules can be used on older series guns, like the 40MZ types, but older SCA3001 adaptors are physically incompatible with the new guns.

E-TTL metering ‘E’ stands for ‘evaluative’, and before every exposure, a Canon E-TTL gun fires an almost imperceptible pre-flash to determine the correct exposure, which is then stored in memory. However, if bounced flash is used, then the distance the flash light travels is different from the lens-to-subject distance. E-TTL II metering takes the focus distance provided by the lens and compares it with the pre-flash reading, and modifies the flash output as required. It also uses a different algorithm which de-emphasises large areas of bright tone (like a bride’s dress). GN45 @ 50mm (maximum 56). 24–105mm zoom with 17mm wide panel.

Height is adjustable between 30–45cm, and the arm can be swivelled in two planes to tilt forwards or back, or to move the flash from side to side. Dedicated cords like the Nikon SC-17 can be mounted directly on the 1/4” thread, or you can use the Hama 6959 shown on p39 for any flash. MA233B £38.50 Novoflex Flash Grip A solid, high quality modular grip which can be extended with a 20cm rod, or use the ARM and ARM-K on p43. Complete with M-NEIGER ball head. NVBG £69.00 52 Speed Graphic No matter how powerful and sophisticated the flashgun, simply mounting it on the camera, or on a small side bracket, produces harsh and ugly shadows behind the subject. For natural and flattering results you need your flash centred high above the lens, eliminating red eye, and throwing shadows down behind the subject, and to do it whether the camera is mounted horizontally or vertically. What’s the answer? A Stroboframe bracket, of course! There’s one to suit most 35mm and medium format cameras, and most photographers’ working styles. How to select a bracket which is right for your needs There are three styles of Stroboframe brackets: Flash mount arm pivots to position flash in the correct ratio to the film format. This can be important to prevent light fall-off when using wide angle lenses. The accessory shoe can be removed to allow an offcamera TTL cord to be mounted. Has a foam grip, and can be tripod mounted. Does not accept camera anti-twist plates or Metz quick-release flash mounts. Quick Flip 350 for 35mm cameras. Weight 290g. STQ350 £49.95 Quick Flip 120 for medium format cameras. Weight 340g. STQ120 £59.95 Supplied with 300-SHO accessory shoe mount. Handle mount guns require the optional 300-HAN. Camera Flip Camera-rotating brackets These use the patented Rotary-Link system to change the camera position from horizontal to vertical, whilst keeping the lens in the same position under the flash. They are the best type for use with a tripod. The Camera Flip is the compact, while the Pro-RL suits larger cameras, has adjustable flash height and fits the QRC quick-release system base unit. Flash-rotating brackets These flip the flash instead of the camera, and are generally a little more compact and lightweight. They also have the advantage of keeping the flash light spread in the same ratio as the film format, so would suit users of wide-angle lenses. Quick Flip models are best for those who like to drop their right hand when moving the camera to the vertical position; Pro-T/Press-T types are better if you like to raise your hand. Square format brackets Designed either specifically for Hasselblad or Bronica SQ cameras which have the same shaped baseplate (so no anti-twist plate is needed for these), or else, like the Pro-SQ, good for Mamiya RB/RZ cameras with a revolving back. Also work well on tripods. A compact bracket ideal for 35mm SLR including most deep-body professional models, and 645 rollfilm SLRs. The camera rotates and the flash is kept centred over the lens. Accepts camera anti-twist plates, and is supplied with the standard 300SHO flash shoe mount which can be interchanged with other flash mounts. Weight 437g. STCF £64.95 PHONE: 0845 3 30 55 30 FLASH Folding Flip A development of the Quickflip design for 35mm and most digital cameras. The extra-wide base has multiple mounting slots to adapt to a wide range of cameras, and it accepts anti-twist plates. This lightweight bracket has a foam grip and is made from the same high grade materials as the other models. Two press-button locks allow it to fold to fit into camera bag or pocket with ease. Height 22.8cm. Weight 250g. Folds to 21.6Lx7.6Dx9.5H cm. STFF £69.95 Pro-T and Press-T Fast-handling brackets which keep the right hand on the camera release in both horizontal and vertical position, and maintain the flash in the correct ratio to the film format. Because you hold the camera and not the bracket, we recommend these for cameras with grips and drives. A built-in 3-degree downward tilt compensates for close subjects. ‘Cord keep’ tidies TTL cords away from the lens. The base will fit directly to the Stroboframe QRC quick release, and will accept camera anti-twist plates. Supplied with 1/4” mount screw (standard and other flash shoes extra–see details on this page). Pro-T Height 23.5cm. Weight 397g. STPROT £89.95 Press-T is exactly the same design as the Pro-T but is 18cm high. Suits photographers working with small groups, or close to subjects, or who want a bracket with minimal bulk. Weight 312g. STPRST £84.95 Pro-T/m is a version of the Pro-T with base configured for the Mamiya 6, 6MF and 7, allowing film loading and lens changing whilst on the bracket. STPROTM £109.00 Pro-RL and Pro-SQ These brackets offer ideal balance with heavier set-ups, with the left hand holding the whole outfit weight via a cushioned grip. The TiltTrigger mechanism allows onehanded flash angle adjustment in 12 clickstop positions. A pivoting ‘kickstand’ allows the bracket to be put down without falling over. Brackets will accept all antitwist plates and flash mounts. Pro-RL has camera rotator, for 35mm and 645 format cameras. Weight 935g, STPRL £119.00 Pro-SQ has fixed camera platform, for 6x6 and Mamiya RB/RZ. Weight 820g.

STSHO £10.00 Universal Shoe Mount is a version of the above for general purpose use. It lacks the bracket locating pin, but is supplied with a 1/4” screw knob, so can be used with many non-Stroboframe brackets and stands. ST405 £9.00 Bracket Handle Mount (2) is a bracket for all handle-mount guns with a nylon jubilee-clip type attachment which won’t scratch the flash. Fits all Stroboframe brackets excl Folding Flip. STHAN £13.00 Metz quick-release mounts Although the Bracket Mount above can be used with Metz guns, the quick-release mounts have a machined tongue which fits into the base of a Metz 45 or 60 gun.

Because the flash is kept at the same height as it would be when mounted on the camera, the Stroboflip does not produce the lighting benefits of the other brackets. Suits shoe mount guns (includes mount), and will accept off-camera TTL cords. Takes camera anti-twist plates, and is supplied with a 300-SLR type. Weight 255g.

A Quantum battery dramatically improves full power recycling times, greatly extends working charge times and offers far more ‘bang for your buck’ than camera manufacturers’ own offerings! All Quantum batteries can be adapted to a variety of flashguns by using a specially-designed lead (module in Quantum’s parlance), so you need to add the price of this to that of the battery.

Tungsten or halogen lighting sets provide continuous lighting ideal for this purpose – and of course can be used for general studio shots as well. Tungsten lamps are cheaper to replace than halogen, but have a shorter working life. They run at a slightly higher colour temperature than household bulbs, and an 80B filter is required if you are using slide film (the orange colour cast can be removed during printing when using colour neg film), but of course with a digital camera, the white balance control will correct the colour. Halogen lamps will give a brighter light, so can be useful if a small aperture is required. Both types of lamp produce lots of heat, so they are less pleasant than flash for the sitter in a portrait session, and for heat-sensitive product photography either flash or the latest fluorescent lighting would be a better choice.

Speed Graphic 59 Buying studio flash LIGHTING Selecting the flash heads Excellence in photography is as much about light control, as about composition, subject matter and so forth, and many photographers will invest in a studio flash system when they wish to achieve this degree of control – for portraiture, still life and many other purposes. As with most things, the more you spend, the more power, flexibility, sophistication and, to some degree, build quality, you will get. Flash heads aimed at the amateur will typically have a power output of 125 or 250 joules, and will have a switchable full/half power output, and sometimes a fixed modelling light output. These will be fine for small studio use, and will give required working apertures of f8/f11 at typical distances. Moving up the scale will get power outputs of 500 joules or more, and continuously adjustable power output over a 5 or 6 stop range, fan cooling, remote control, and the power to light groups of people at 4–5m distances at small apertures even when bounced from an umbrella. You can do a lot with one flash head, an umbrella, and a reflector or two, so getting into studio flash can cost around the same as a new zoom. Joules and guide numbers Flash lighting Interfit Top-value new series of studio flash heads featuring good power and continuously variable power output from full to 1/8th power (4 stops) – now with upgraded tube. The 60w modelling lamp also adjusts in line with the selected power output, and can be turned off if required. Built-in infra-red sensitive slave allows use of infra-red flash triggers, as well as triggering by the supplied sync cord. Side-mounted controls are easy to get at, even if the head is tilted down.

Guide numbers with studio flash are a less reliable guide to power, as the choice of reflector will change the figure. Manufacturers, of course, will tend to choose the reflector which gives the highest figure, so accurate comparison between makes is not always possible. Some subjects will benefit from direct flash, but the big benefit of using a studio flash head is the ability to add an umbrella, or a softbox, or restrict the spread of light with a snoot or barndoor.

Wein Safe-Sync Lastolite Cubelite Provides shadowless, soft lighting for any item, and isolates reflective objects from their surroundings. The cube can be lit from any side, and collapses into a fraction of its full size, so is equally at home in the studio or on location. Inside there is a pair of crocodile clips to support a sheet of paper to make a gradient curve background if required. The Cubelite is available in three sizes. There’s no need to compensate for the tungsten lights with a digital camera – just use the auto white balance, or tungsten setting if provided.

MA183 £24.95 PHONE: 0845 3 30 55 30 SLIDE ACCESSORIES Ohnar zoom slide copier Far from being a simple duplicating device, a zoom slide copier will allow you to copy slides on to negative film, crop the picture to improve composition, remove colour casts with filtration, and sandwich slides together to create new compositions. You can use daylight as illumination, but colour temperature can vary if you simply point towards a window. We recommend a diffused flash as the light source. It will copy from 1:1 (same size) to 1:2.5 and the film holder can be raised, lowered, and rotated to allow fine adjustment of the image. 52mm filters can be used on the front filter ring. A T2 mount adaptor is required to mount it on the camera body.

CS mounts have slots in the sides which, when inserted into a CS magazine mean they won’t spill. They can also be used in any other type of slide magazine, and are the most compact in terms of storage. All magazine boxes occupy pretty much the same shelf space, and this is what you can store in the typical box: Universal 2 x 50 slide mags; LKM 2 x 80 slide mags; CS 2 x 100 slide mags.

FAX: 01420 543 544 Enlarging Paterson Paragon 35 With mainly metal construction, this is a robust product ideal for the home or college 35mm enthusiast. Its 75w condenser illumination is ideal for black and white printing, and it has a built-in filter drawer for multigrade or colour filters. Twin bar/bellows focusing guarantees that the lens stays parallel to the baseboard, and it will produce a maximum print size of 12x16” (30x40cm) on the baseboard – the head can be swung round to project on to a wall or floor for larger prints. Comes complete with a quality 4element lens and glassless negative carrier.

Head movement is by smooth friction drive. Print sizes up to 12 x 18” (30.5 x 46cm) can be made on the baseboard, and the head can be reversed to allow floor projection. Supplied with 75w opal lamp and hinged neg carrier. Not supplied with lens. Filter set shown is extra (see below).

Universal Developing Tank with 1 spiral Set of three 8x10” trays Paterson Safelight 3 measuring graduates Chemical mixer Thermometer PTDEV Print tongs 95 Pair of film clips Film squeegee 64 Safelight Paterson 2000D Durst Variolux Simple exposure meters are not particularly good for variable contrast papers, as a change in the grade means that the meter needs recalibration. The Variolux, as well as measuring the amount of light and displaying the correct exposure via two small control lamps, also measures the contrast range of the negative and then recommends a suitable paper contrast. This will enable a reasonably accurate print to be produced immediately, and avoid the need for test strips. Metering is either integrated or spot, and the Variolux is equally suitable for black and white or colour negatives, and is powered by a 9v battery.

Softback 192pp BK552 £17.95 Speed Graphic 103 Some notes about ‘dpi’ etc. DIGITAL IMAGING Choosing a scanner We assume that most of our customers will be looking to make high quality images, probably printing them on an inkjet printer, and will be using a negative or slide as a start point. That’s why we don’t sell low price flatbeds, which are great for prints but don’t have the resolution for negs or slides. Higher priced flatbeds, adapted for transparencies, are superior in both lens and mechanical quality, which means that for medium format slides, they can be used for many purposes. For 35mm users, dedicated film scanners (for the price of a high quality lens) deliver superb results. Scanning resolution is described in ‘dpi’ (dots per inch), in slightly different ways for film and flatbed scanners. Film scanners will have a single dpi figure. 2900dpi means 2900 x 2900 pixels on the sensor. Flatbeds will have (e.g.) 1200 x 2400 dpi resolution. The first figure is the sensor dpi – across the scanner. The second is the number of steps the scanner takes along the length of the scanner bed. The first figure is the more important indication of quality. Film scanners Printers Epson Stylus Photo R300 Our price includes 2.5” LCD monitor worth £79 Minolta Dimage Scan Dual 4 Nikon Coolscan V ED USB scanner with easy ‘one-click’ approach (or you can turn on a more advanced screen when you get more proficient), with optional image enhancement.

EPR300 £156.00 Epson Stylus Photo 2100 Print resolution Printers, like flatbeds, have two figures – the smaller (e.g. 1440dpi) refers to the number of dots of ink per inch which the printer is capable of laying down. The second is the number of lines along the length of the print. Both should not be confused with the output resolution which you will set when using a film scanner. For optimum quality for most printing, 300dpi output resolution is fine. Any higher figure will result in very large file sizes which will clog the computer and take ages to print, with barely discernible improvement. So by a quick mental calculation, it’s easy to see what print size along the long side at maximum print quality can be achieved from 35mm. For example: 2900dpi ÷ 300 dpi x 1.375= 13.3”. In fact, you will find that excellent prints can be made at 200dpi. 104 Speed Graphic Minolta Scan Elite 5400 Sets a new resolution level for desktop film scanners, allowing a 300dpi A3+ print to be made.

EP2100 £445.00 PHONE: 0845 3 30 55 DIGITAL IMAGING Hi-Touch Printers Dye-sublimation printing has been around for some time, but generally only at high prices. Instead of an inkhead, these printers pass the paper three times over red, green and blue dye ribbons which transfer the colour (or ‘sublimate’) to the paper. Compared to inkjet printing, dye-sub offers several adbantages: Economy. Paper and ribbons are supplied in a pack which is loaded into the printer. As there is exactly the right quantity of ribbon for the paper, there’s no waste, unlike many inkjet cartridges. Speed. A print is produced in around 45 seconds. Durability. The print is completely dry on exit, and has similar lightfastnes to a conventional photo print.
