There is a manual inside. Just follow the manual. Everything should mix till 1L. The color developer is seperated to A and B for extended shelf life (500ml each), alternative, you can just freeze everything. I still have some in my fridge, this is a 3 step kit. Not including stabilizer, you should have total of 3 different chemical set each 1L or 4 different chemical set, 2 are 1L and 2 are 500ml. As compared to actual E6, this kit has a bit slightly higher contrast. (no drop in D-range) Except for that, everything will turn out the same.

Did talk to patrick about it and considered organizing a small slide developing session so as to fix people thinking about temperature for slide developing. But the issue is that my mum doesn't wants too big a crowd and so I cannot invite more than 3 people to my place. I am thinking of a small group of around 5-6 people and ps, but I don't like the idea of safra darkroom club.

Deepavali shoot??

Sounds good to me. The issue here is this coming wednesday will be crowded. I wonder if our group can set up the tripod in the middle of the street with such a crowd. 2 - 3 tripod still possible, but a small platoon seems hard.

ok thanks...look like i got to look for more containers to store the working solutions. ...any recommendations for cheap containers that can take the e6 chemicals?
1st developer is very sensitive..had to be AIRPROOF! also need more beakers and a thermometer. time to visit Phoon Huat!

Try to get the black accordian bottles from chiif or seng cheong. They should be good to minimise air in the containers.

I suppose is Minox 8x11 format. The camera style classic. And the way the film cartridge and developing tank works. You don't even need a dark bag when reeling in the film. Just a bit of work to respool the film if you want to use modern day films.

 

[Shadowleong]

Just passed by penisular, camera xhange is commiting to 5 Lf cameras a speed graphic, a crown graphic 2 wooden cameras maybe a zone IV and a linhof mono rail. All full setups with lens, backs just need film holders. Went in to ask bout the speed graphic. Price is decent and condition great. Dunni if its because of us but sure is good to see these locally

Because of that I'm kindda tempted to go explore lorong Halus wetlands since the recent opening of the new punggol waterway. Shouldn't be much people there

What is required? Tap? Fridge? Room? I maybe about to rent a secondary school club.

Depending what you want to shoot. The following do not need much space and I don't think too many will go:

1. Marina bay sun rise
2. Marina bay night scene
3. Little India Temple night scene
4. Kopi Hill
5. Changi beach area sun set

Lorong Halus is good. But the timing for shooting the "before sun rise till sky warming up" is around 6.45. (Might be earlier seeing that the sky turns bright earlier near the EOY) Including setting up of tripod and other equipment is around 6.30 latest must reach. Trust me the place is remoted unless someone drives you in. (I gotten a friend who stays near and recce for me the entrance path last time) I still got the direction in my email I sent to my other friends who went with me quite long time ago. 2 times I gotten someone drive me inside. Once I camp at the bridge overnight.

Not much, water supply nearby for washing and all other general purpose, and some space near the water source to put my stuff, a power source and a kettle to heat water. I can bring the rest. If want to demo the B&W reversal, need to prepare ice cube in fridge before hand.

I am fine with anything, I am more worry about crowd at/ near Little India area if we are shooting there. Just keep me posted.

To add on regarding Lorong Halus, my last visit few months back has some pipes on the water as well as a bit of renovation going on near the river bank. Hopefully they are done and cleared.

Damn, I am getting blood rushing into my head.:mad2: Cannot go off too far from my plan on going to wet plate. Cannot see too much of such stuff. They are poisonous and will hint BBB causing me to do stupid action with my mouse and keyboard.

Square/wedge rail...

I don't remember seeing any Sinar "F,"P","C" or "norman" system with such rail. Those guys uses a round rail which also allows easier stabilizing of of the camera on the tripod. (For me at least it is easy to stable the rod and clamp it) I did saw sales before in the Largeformatphotography.info B&S where there is a sinar with a more special shaped rail (Looks something like Master Billy Calumet rail). But if I am not wrong, it is an "A" system.

Hope it helps Boss Nikkornos.

Vege Bird.

I used to have a set of Sinar with the wedge shaped rails
It's from the Alpina Series
