Sorry for missing out the timing.
Visible light: 1/2 second on meter and shooting
With Filter: 15 sec on meter, 1 minute on actual shooting.

Considering opening a new thread for it, but feel bad to open another new thread in the MF section of CS.

Unlike the friendly Rollei IR400 or Kodak HIE, this guy is quite unforgiving. spectral sensitivity is only till 820 or 830. If you are using a Hoya R72, you're limited from 720 to 820/830. For visible light shooter, this guy starts off at around 450.
Haha.. SFX 200 is worse with sensitivity is up to 740nm only. The effect is pretty mild imho and totally no effect when the sun is blocked by the clouds (I have a shot which is interesting cos you can see part of a hill where the sun shines has the IR glow and the other part covered by the clouds looks normal). I'm still trying to figure out how to shoot my efke IR rolls at ISO 6 handheld with my M7.. sure going to be a headache... I tried with SFX 200 and shutter speed was very slow.. around 1/30 wide open for over cast weather. Will be bringing all 3 (Efke 820 aura, Rollei IR400 & SFX 200) on my next trip to try.. haha..

According to the spec sheet, if you dev in microphen, you can get up to ISO 200 without pushing.

Seems interesting, but the next batch, I am more interested in a reversal test for the film. Should be only a single sheet and my last sheet (if successful) before saving the rest for summer as it is always raining near the end of the year.

ISO 200 will be around ISO 15 for the film with R72. Perhaps you can try to test it out to confirm.:D
I am wondering if I should scan the film to post it.:think:

Hi, guys,

To help me keep track of the total order, I've transferred the data to a spreadsheet:

<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ag9mH9aos71IdEVYNXpfeWRhT2RodGp6aTFPT0hkenc>

Please update or amend the spreadsheet accordingly, and not add to the list on this thread. Anyone else that would like to place the order please fill up Column A, B and C. Since the spreadsheet is public, please do not leave your name or contact on the spreadsheet - pm me instead.

Shall we set the deadline to be 2011-11-22 2359 hrs? I will finalize the cost for everyone and let you guys have one last pass before I proceed. Given the volume, it's likely we may have to pay GST. I'll try to make an estimate - not too sure what exchange rate the custom is going to use.

6. Lualua (Joshua) : 1x HP5 plus(100 sheets)

Sorry losheng I think I'm pulling out of the MO since I don't have a lightmeter yet so not so confident to do slides.

Something happened at home so i need the money for somethingelse right now. Hope you understand =)
 

Some nice stuff you got lualua. I'm not sure about expired gold toner, but Sweat100 did told me he gotten big screw up with some heavily expired gold toner he gotten from ruby. More detail you will have to ask him when he is around. Triponaltoner will be good for sulphite reversal,
 

thanks for the info, i'll try them out on some not so important prints first and update the folks here..... looking forward

thanks for organising this

ok i add in 2 boxes of Kodak Ektar 100 Color negative 4x5 (10sheets).

this negative film costs almost the same as a velvia 50 :(
 

Came home today and found my box of Shanghai 100 "Tempered" lid never close properly, questioned everyone in the family and my mum opened the box out of curiosity. Ruining my last 2 sheets inside, :cry:

Anyways I've found something interesting
Polaroid Sprintscan 45 film scanner 4x5 large format | eBay

Anyone has experiences with this dedicated 4x5 scanner? I don't think its a flat bed, a quick google search gave some decent reviews

After thinking bout what lualua said during the last Bukit Brown outing; Closer to the demolition date, more shutterbugs would flood the place, thinking of going back this weekend, anyone on?
