For anyone with a few quid to spare in their pockets and a yen to undertake some image creation on Skye wiht renown expert tuition thismight be of interest.


Somewhat out of my league on all counts but there may be a few well built, goatee bearded individuals who would relish the trip.

Not that surprised at the price. Sec
Decent hotels, 3 experts teaching, free top end medium format gear for the trip.

Hmm, goatee beard, check
Well built, check
Company director, check

I really fancy that, the trouble is in addition to the price you'd have to budget for an IQ back to upgrade my existing digital back, which makes the price of the workshop pale into insignificance.

True enough Mark - but I believe they lease them with a pre-defined deprecation/trade-in/buy-back arrangement to help spread the financial load.

Still, I just Might be cheaper to attend 5 or 6 PODAS events every year and make use of the loaned kit - includes lenses should one need to factor that in ....

I already have a Mamiya AFDii setup with range of lenses which I use with my Leaf Aptus so it would just be the back to upgrade.
