Closeup Pad

Postby Rick_S » February 18th, 2022, 8:13 pm

I'm looking for recommendations for a good quality closeup pad. I'm old enough to remember when Apollo closeup pads were the best, but I don't think they're made anymore (even though some websites advertise "Apollo" closeup pads).

TIA

Rick

I ordered a pretty high end mat from Pattrick, and it came folded in a package.

Those folds are still readily apparent in the mat 4 months later ... the permanent fold marks completely ruin it for me.

Roger, I'd contact Pattrick, I bet he'll make it right.

^^^This.
I've purchased multiple mats from Pattrick over the years and he has consistently provided some of the best customer service I've ever seen.
