Where is the Medium format site gone ?

GeorgesGiralt · Apr 21, 2008

Hi !
Since a long time I used to visit Dead Link Removed where one could find medium format camera manuals and a lot of information.
Alas, the manual page give a "file not found" as does a lot of other links.
I've tried to contact the Webmaster using the contact link and got a "user unknown" error...
If you know where he is gone, please speak ;-)
TIA

Clicked onto the site's URL as posted by you and got on straight away. Try it again

Humm something strange here :
Page Not Found - 404 Error Page
The page you are looking for (Dead Link Removed) is not here.
Could you please try to access the manual page ?
Thanks a lot.

I can't access the manuals either.

been that way for a while.

I couldn't get the "Manuals" pages either. I had thought you simply couldn't get the site at all. OK with "articles" although the site seems very slow and a little "creaky". A bit like an engine that sometimes starts and sometimes doesn't. No explanation on the site. This is annoying. I don't mind if the site owner says "Sorry there's now a charge" At least you know where you stand but I wouldn't know what to do now to access them.

There are sites where, I think, access is possible. Oldtimer cameras or some such name springs to mind but it costs to get the article as a pdf file. Sorry

That site has been on a not terribly good host for some time. I think there are bandwidth limits, so pages might become inaccessible as it exceeds the bandwidth limit. I'm not sure what's happened to Bob Monaghan who put that site together.

Wayback machine to the rescue (try one of the dates under 2006)

Everything working normally at my end, though.
