Photography - Gear

Some old of my old "Nikon" gear and how I've put it to use!

All manual focus - two clockwork, two electronic!

Nikon F301 (1985) Nikon EM (1979) Nikkormat FT2 (1975) Nikon F Photomic Tn (1966)
Durst M305 Colour
Well, It's a Durst M305 Colour stoopid!!!

Has an enormous column (insert joke here) - good for BIG prints!!!! (But, you can of course swivel the head round and use the wall!!!!). The Colour Filtration is really handy for VC papers!
Replaced the baseboard with a one of those "Steel Noticeboard" from Ikea (you know the things you stick fridge magnets on!) - It's a LOT bigger than the original which didn't really go beyond 12x16. (Although I never really go much bigger than this, I do like to have space to work, and also to put the focus finder, timer etc, at the back of the board).

I then aquired some strips of magentic material an use it to hold ANY size paper flat!
