After a month of hard work by the book committee, the RF.SG photo book has finally come to fruition. 100 photographs were painstakingly selected from over 500 submissions by more than 50 photographers for the photo book.

Due to the small print quantity, to maintain the excellent print quality that you see in the 5 "prototypes", each book has to be priced at SGD90 to make this project viable. As the cost of printing each photo book is pretty high, advance payment needs to be made, and the total number of prints will then be determined. The RF.SG photo book is not meant to be profit making. There will only be ONE print run. There will not be a second print run even if there is an overwhelming response. Order is open to all, you can order as many copies as you like, no limit to number of copies per person.

For those who would like to order the Rangefinder Singapore Inaugural Photo Book, here is the procedure:

1. Come down personally to Chiif Cameras, Excelsior Shopping Centre #02-25, to place order and make payment. An official receipt will be provided on the spot.
Payment methods: CASH, NETS, Credit Cards (VISA/MASTER CARD), Cheque
Click here for direction to Chiif Cameras.
Click here for opening hours.

2. For overseas order or if you could not find time to come down personally, you may send me a message at chiif@chiifcameras.com to place the order. Please ask for shipping charges before making payment. For local collection, there is no additional charge.
Payment method: PayPal or Singapore Local Bank Internet Transfer (POSB/DBS/UOB/OCBC)
PayPal account: chiif@chiifcameras.com
Bank Account Information will be furnished on request
- Please quote payment reference number after transfer is done.
- A scanned official receipt will be sent for order confirmation. Please print out the official receipt for collection.


Closing Date for order: 21 August 2010

The photo book will go into print on 23 August and the final book should be ready by second week of September. An email will be sent and an update will be posted on this thread when the book is ready for collection.

Once again, special thanks to:
* Spoon Creative for creative design and putting this book together
* All the photographers who submitted their excellent photographs for selection
* The 2 contributors to articles in the photo book
* Judges who painstakingly selected the final 100 photographs
* The book committee members who made this seemingly impossible task possible

Hi all,

Thanks for all the response. We managed to hit the target of 50 books.

The book will be sent for print this week.
 

Almost...

Printer will partial deliver tomorrow. But I do not have the full quantity yet. Will update you guys later tomorrow.

Can't wait for the book xD
 

Guys... some updates.

The printer's machine, which is a very reputable brand, took an older version of the file instead of the latest file that we have given and printed the 62 copies. So, now the current copies I have on hand are considered "mis-print" version. There are some spelling mistakes in this "mis-print" version. Other than the grammar errors, they are basically the same. They will take back the "mis-print" copies on Monday and reprint all the copies again.

Now... to cut the long story short. If you want the mis-print version, you can collect tomorrow & Monday. Otherwise, the correct print will only be available 2 weeks later.

I will be out of office from Tuesday till Sunday and back on 27th Sept. If you want the mis-print version, catch me by Monday.

Sorry guys for taking so long...

Maybe we can sell at a cheaper price later for those who missed the order. It is a waste just to throw it away. The minimum orders were already fulfilled which means the selling price have covered the cost.

The proceeds can be used to cover one of the book that was lost during the launch instead of being absorbed by some kind soul :-)

The rest we can use to buy coffee.
 

I think the misprint version is going to be collectors item.

Can you imagine, 50 years later when RF.SG is more influential than Magnum and Singapore is famous for RF.SG, the 1st copy of the RF.SG book is going to be collectors item, and the first version misprint is going to fetch a fortune...

And the first 5 prototype copies will be worth even more!!! Damn the thief who stole a copy during the RF.SG event.

We should have numbered the book 01/50 to 50/50 then I Lagi best first to place order get first book
 

The printer will reprint and replace the affected pages. Hence the printed copies should be salvaged. Anyway, let's wait for 2 more weeks and hope this time it will final. :)

Yes, mis-print copies usually will be better collector items. :bsmilie:
