Hey, no problem, and thanks for adding your order to share the shipping cost!
As for the A/B developer, I don't think that's an issue. Ernest and I have been doing many rounds of development to tweak the processing results of the control strip to match the reference as much as possible. We haven't been able to get it to match exactly, but the result is getting close. As such, we have been going through the developers quite quickly. I'm also going to go ahead and order a set of the starters for both the first developer and color developers to see if the result improves. You guys want to share a carton of each?
For the A/B developers - do you guys each want a 5 litre bottle, or do you prefer to get a just a litre or two?
By the way, I cant find much information on the starters. What are they for? Is it to make the replenisher first and colour developer not as strong?
I don't mind a 5L kit for the A/B developer personally.

Hey, guys,
So I have frozen the spreadsheet. Please take a look at the consolidated order and estimated cost here. I have estimated the conversion rate to be 1.32, and will make the final adjustments when the order arrives.
The bad news? Astia has already gone out of stock again at Adorama. So the shipment make take a week or two to ship. Please let me know if you need to make changes. Order is going to be placed after lunch. Thanks!

The last batch was completely sold out, to the point that I'm a little short myself. So I'm going to get another batch - there's someone else that wants three - so I'll have damn bloody many leftovers! How many would you like? How about 30?

AFAIK, that's essentially it - to moderate the strength of the developers, possibly for the different color layers. If you look at Kodak's Visual Troubleshooting guide here, you'll see that lacking First Developer starter can result in bluish images, so as with over concentrated reversal baths.
Phototherm's tech support's suggestion of further diluting the reversal bath by adding additional 30% of water worked very well. As you've seen on the recently developed 4x5 Velvia, the colors looked spot-on for all intent and purposes. But on the Kodak reference control strip, there's still a tiny tint of blue on the neutral gray patch. I'm hoping the starter solution is going to nail this on the head. Otherwise, it's more experimentation with the reversal bath strength and NaOH (much appreciated for providing this!)

anyone looking for LF cam? someone selling one here : http://www.clubsnap.com/forums/buy-...wtsell-lens-other-toyo-45cfl-2-lf-lenses.html
Not sure is it a good deal but since LF cameras seldom appears in CS classifieds, i thot i just highlight it here. I can't find any reference to toyo 45CFL. maybe is the 45CF?

Hey zguy, I bought it actually, the seller was my friend, the CFL is the designation for the lens board mount which uses standard Linhof lens boards.
If anyone is looking for the 210mm let me know
I have 2 now at the moment.

Actually that's a pretty damn good deal! I thought it has been sold! The 45CFL is a field camera. It's made of plastic, and by foregoing the rotating back, it looses a lot of weight. The 45A and A-ii are pretty hefty cameras, and the 45CFL is meant to fix that problem. The price is good - if I don't already have a Toyo-Field setup, I will grab this!
wow great..now we can share lensesHey zguy, I bought it actually, the seller was my friend, the CFL is the designation for the lens board mount which uses standard Linhof lens boards.

both my toyo 45cx (with an adaptor) and chamonix uses Linhof lenboards.

That's really sweet! Linhof boards are tiny and easy to find. Most people use them as the 'default' boards with various adapters with their cameras. The seller's mail box is full - I bet there are a lot of people that really like to get hold of the camera! If he is willing to part the PA-145 separately - drop me a note (because I'm unable to drop him a note!)

Similar to using a roll film back you are just using a 35mm crop with the LF movements, never tried one but i hear the effects nt very obvious
I think mr foxtwo has one, seen him using one for nikon
Only advantage is instant lor

Harlo, how can a 135mm film cover 4X5? I see no reason to mount a 135 back on a 4X5 camera.
Correction, not even 135mm, should be aps c, WHICH is even smaller. Just buy a point and shoot and photoshop lah.
