Are you shock when the initial image came out foggy? ;p

Now i know why last time I tried to wash slides with lots of dust particles returning from fotohub they all turned foggy left me shocked until it dried...:think:
 

Looks like time to visit that place. They sell 4x5 film too right?
After 20 sheets im kinda sick of shanghai. Comes out very flat
flat on negative or flat images after scanning ?
if flat on negative, it might be your development method. are you doing standing development ? i found stand development gave me flat negatives.

my development cycle :
HC 110 dilution B at 20degrees

development : 8 minutes continuous agitation
water stop bath : 2 minutes
fixer : 6 minutes
washing : 30minutes

More agitation will increase contrast and grain. Grain is not really a issue here since Shanghai film is a fine grain film.

if negative is ok but scan turned up to be flat then do a level or curves adjustment :)
 

Cannot Tar Han!!!! ;p

Haha, I actually didn't open the tank until much later, was busy cleaning up the toilet, when I pulled the slides out it looked fine already.

Thanks guys.

Would like to check, how do you guys store your 4x5 slides/negs?

I'm looking for long term archival. Currently using a postcard folder but afraid it will not last.
 

Store in Fridge. Freezing is the best.
Slides will fade within 20 years. The ones my parents left all become mono tone.
 

Dang, I have pretty young siblings at home, so I don't keep my film stuff in the fridge, maybe I'll get a mini fridge.
 

put inside a ziplog bag, then a layer of black plastic bag... BIG WORDINGS " FILMS " on the masking taped ( both sides )
throw the thing on the frozen compartment.

so far so good.. all is safe here. :)

Thanks guys.

Put in slide sleeves, I got those single slide sleeves and I put them in the film box then into freezer and it sleeps there until I need it.

My suggestion is to camp for a freezer from craglist or some other sites like kiasu parent. I gotten my freezer for around 200SGD only. I got a friend who drives a van and he helps me pick up the freezer. Sell off a lens will do the trick.

haha ..I also trying not to take up too much stuff for photography..else some1 else will kill me. Photography is just a part of my life, not my whole life.

Hope you found the link to the Tetenal E6 seller - here it is : Tetenal Colortec E-6 3 Bath Kit 1 Litre 102031 | eBay

Just be warned that their packaging is lousy and the liquid may leak after poor handling. they also send the wrong kit (the C41) to me the first round but they sent me the right one after that. Therefore i got both C41 and E6 kits for the price of a E6 kit. haha
