Yep, $60, kind of ex but I did get a box :dunno:
 

Okay will try tomorrow !! 60 per box quite chor leh. I stick to shanghai for nw.
 

$60 dollars you complain chor. Next time married how.....

$60 will be keep going out in repetitions day in day out none stop. :bsmilie:

Come to think about it, our most ToKKONG LF setup is still cheaper than a LV bag.
Our most outrageous film, chemicals consumption is still cheaper than the consumption of cosmetics + others... :bsmilie:

Invest on a good loupe and light meter first, trust me on this. It makes a huge difference to certain degree.

Btw, I don't think your (ShadowLeong) bellow might encounter such issue, but do read up on bellow factor. One of the important stuff in LF especially on abstract shots.

Just noobish vege bird 2 cents

Yes a tripod has more uses other than holding a camera =X

guessing form my negatives, I pretty much lucked out with sunny 16 on a sunset lighting.

Another one i missed abit and the shadows are totally black.

Haven't taken any LF photos at HK yet, someone knock into me inside the mrt and fell. Ground glass broken from shock. Now really have to find servicing already.:cry:

Photos of part of the broken ground glass from the bin that I have to remove last night in hotel room.

Ouch! Looks like the cost of the trip has just gone up! On the bright side, your sinar will soon have a sparkling new ground glass!
