bro,
get a 6x12 roll film back, easier to work with and film cost and development cost also cheaper.
I brought 4 pcs of the 4x5 film holder, self sufficient only... sorry, cannot sell you some... next time bah..
fyi, I brought from this fellow, I think he should still have some..

I just happen to pass by. They are having 40% off some Berlebach tripods. Might be worth looking if you are interested.
else go to the Schmidt store at Ngee Ann City level 5. they carry the Berlebach wooden tripods. bet the price will match the rental rates there hahah
see the tripods on the left?
thanks for the lead to the film holder. for now, i keeping to B&W shanghai 100 4x5 film and self developing to keep cost low. the 6x12 back is a good idea so i will keep a look out for it . wow didnt realise a Dayi 6x17 back cost more than a entry level LF cam.
question :
do you use a 4x5 film developing tank? or you just put the film on a tray with developer and then shake shake shake....

i lightproof the bathroom and develop in the tray. i use a small tray so the sheets will sit on top of one another. Agitation is done by removing the most bottom sheet and overlaying on top of the top most sheet every few seconds. there are other methods that others uses but i made the least mistakes using the tray development method. having say that i looking to get a Paterson orbital http://www.rogerandfrances.com/photoschool/ps how orbital.html to do daylight developing.

I really want it but my pocket cant afford haha!
@billy, I plan to stick with roll film until i get confident enough to not waste sheet film. Another reason being I'll be broke once i get my camera + roll film back anyways haha!
Its possible to just use a 135 and 120 developing tank for a start if you do not have many pieces to develop or do not have the time to lightproof a room. A slight deviation from the taco method that works for me. Load the film with the emulsion side facing the center column, use 750ml of solution for a AP tank and develop as per normal.
As wootsk pointed out to me just now which I did not realise as everyone has a different developing technique. Just swirl the tank in spiral shape gently in alternating direction every 30s. Do not invert the tank during this developing process as the film may slip and stack to each other.
yes yes, the inversion agitation won't work very well as i learnt even there is 4 sheets in it (taco method).
Ok what else...
i use Kodak HC 110 as i read that it has a long shelf life even after opening ... i am still using it after one year
tat how low volume my developing work is hahaha Shanghai film i bought from Issac Chen on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/25x-SHEET-S...amera_Film&hash=item53e919a306#ht_3473wt_1185. US$15+6 for 25 sheets = about S$1/sheet
