Sadly I don't think scan can see a big different between a reversal processed and normal processed too much except catching flaws in failure for reversal.

I have to agree with you on this point. I also experience the same results. No improvement in quality when comparing reversal to normal processing. In fact, revsersal is more prone to errors and degraded quality. Probably only good for slide lovers who have slide projector *hint hint*

Hello kgston

Show us what you have and lets make some nice 120/LF pictures:

Cannot say anymore. Somemore, I will start slamming those shouldn't be said stuff about scanning, flatbed scanner, scanner tech, 0 and 1, monitor, digital printing and slide projection... Like the Vege Bird, ignorance is bliss in this area to certain extend.

I remember ShadowLeong said his camera is gone case already. I happened to see this which I think he will be interested.

Everything is inside already. He just need a tripod and some film and can start shooting already. I suggest he better move fast as well since I heard from a friend of mine that garment is weaking SGD due to the currency being too strong causing lacking of trade and too high standard of living. (Not sure and not very reliable source)
USD to SGD now is 1 U.S. dollar = 1.24270069 Singapore dollars

@wootsk haha i saw that but im more towards the speed graphic tho,
just really wanna try hand held with the aero ektar or its equivalent but so hard its hard to source for one with a working shutter...
If I cant find one, I'll settle for a monorail

recee not done yet...maybe somewhere nearer..bright hill temple or Balestier Road wayang stage...really depends on weather/light haha

I am petty sure just waiting for a while longer will pop out someone selling speed graphic (I can help you post a "want to buy" thread in LF forum if you PM me the fine details). I am not sure of the technical difference between crown and speed, but I held both before and they feels almost the same to me.

Thanks a lot for all the help. I gotten mine and loving it Vege bird finally gotten some trees to stay ;p

Weather isn't too much of an issue, I gotten petty good lighting for long exposure once when I am shooting at macritchie reservoir and a downpour came. It makes the "water mist" even more misty and acts as a GND filter for the sky . I will be developing some films tomorrow morning and see if I can make it in the afternoon.

very keen to see the pics

I'll look around abit more, the speed graphic has a built in focal plane shutter so the main advantage is to use the aero ektar or any small barrel lens.
The crown is the same thing without the built in shutter which is why i would rather go for a monorail if thats the case.
Looking around on apug and ebay everyday now but i think its sooner or later some good deal would pop out. Still saving money tho haha
I'll pm you when i saved a decent amount of cash for a kit. I still cant view the B&S no idea why, but it should be next wk ba any way to check when i register?
