I have 2 X Velvia 50 fresh exposed and 2 X Vlvia 50 expired exposed. I O N LAH! ;)

Sounds good! How about this Thursday evening, 17th November?

BTW - given the amount of 4x5 discussion, do you guys think it's about time we ask the admin for a dedicated large format section on CS's forum? :-)

:thumbsup:

Absolutely.

It can be misleading to talk about LF in a MF section. There simply is NO comparison.

Layman idea:
Weight, Price and precision control.
Sinar P uses gear for control except heavy movement on the rail. (Highest precision will be sinar X, but for what?)
F2 has a metering back.
F uses the same lock for left / right swing and shift. (Not that it really matters too much)
 

Hey, would you mind keeping in the loop for the photography items? I'm interested in a studio stand, and possibly other stuffs too! I would be keen to check out the stuffs for sale! Thanks!

F2 standards are better than F version. My front standard used to be F version before the bottom rail catch broke. I had to replace with a F2. I think get P only if you want to leave it as a studio camera.

Just to check, were the film markings on the sheet?could be an exposure problem? maybe never expose long enough...

Thanks a lot, your remark gave some light to my problem. I figured that it is 100% not an exposure problem as there are no border on the film thought the edge appeared slightly darker. I will be trying out another set when I'm more free on a sunny afternoon.

On side note, I am concern about recent stopping of curry sauce. Quite depressing recently. ;'(

Went to mac for the lunch. I have the habit to eat outside with a chilled drink so mac is cheaper for me. ($4) :) To my horror, the lady told me NO CURRY SAUCE! I went back and check to find out some rumor about it stop being served. How do mac expect people to eat their fries without curry sauce? Lucky it has been clarified as a temp shortage.

McDonald’s stops serving curry sauce, causes panic, grief on Twitter | New Nation

Now back to the issue on the film. I am hoping it is a developing issue since I am quite rush to get the batch developed. (I don't remember any mistake, but I will adjust developer to be slightly more colder so more silver stays on) I will do another test set on this Wednesday afternoon (Hopefully no rain) and develop it at night. Sadly cannot meet you guys since I have a dinner appointment with friends on Wednesday. Will try to call you all and check if you all are still hanging around after my dinner. If so can come down for a while and see see ba. :)
 

Will be dropping by the studio soon, if there're any spoils he wanna get right of I'll let you guys know! Heard he has a few bodies and LF equipment.

He used to do lost of studio LF, he even had a digital back.

But as I explained to him, depending on how much he is willing to let it go at, last time buy worth around 10k now worth about few hundred. But i feel he rather get rid of it than letting it sit there.

Hope I can find a meter there LOOL!
