- Thread starter nightwolf75
- Start date
kns.. my MF is on the way from EU..
so what other place can dev e6 MF?
maybe i must start collecting glass bottles again, but i really hate to DIY e6
You may try analog film lab, an online processing lab for 135, 120 and 4x5 films

it is far... in ulu ulu place .. and i prefer not to mail it...
refer to post #3
i still got 4 rolls of slides some more... piangs...
Perhaps we are too used to the concept going to a physical shop to drop off the films. Imagine in the States, where the nearest E6 processing lab is hundreds of miles. The option has to be mail service.
that's about the only option now we have here. are there any other shops in SG that quietly do E6? konota?
Konota send the slides to Fotohub, they don't have in-house E6 processing machine.
I believe they will arrange for more drop off/pick up points in the near future for those who are not used to posting your film.
one other option is to go DIY. Some of us are using the Fujihunt 6 steps chemicals and I have used Tetenal 3 steps E6 kti before. See my post here : http://www.clubsnap.com/forums/medium-large-format/1000662-lf-e6-processing-process.html

actually it is fortunate Loshen is still processing E6.. it is so timely, he started not long ago bcos there is no more LF E6 and then now all are gone!
he said he is charging the cost only.. due to the expensive chemical.. and i think his processor is not optimised in using chemical also..
any of you interested maybe can gang up with him and develop something .. who knows maybe e-6 will come alive again.. haha
DIY is both good and bad.. i tried the Tetenal 3 bath.. i had 2 errors so far, the first one i produced 2 blank pinkish slides.. the second one is worst, 6 dark color slides.. i think i got lax in temperture control at the 2nd error.. till now i have no idea what caused the 2nd error
Then i tried the 6 bath for the remaining 15 sheets of provia and kodak slides.. had to do 3 rounds to finish all my slides.. all come out ok, but there is flow mark each time in at least one slide.. for one slide which i like alot, there is a yellow flow mark in the blue sky.
didn't really see any diff in the end result between using 3 bath and 6 bath.. but it is alot cheaper to buy 6 bath chemical together with loshen and sweat100 gang and share compare to buying 3 bath from ebay. The time i spend on the 6 bath is about one hour.. preparing the chemical took maybe 30min.. but if you shoot alot, you can prepare larger quatity of chemical (known as working solution i think) so you don't have to repeat this boring process... my one hour dev time can be shorten if i prepare a big water bath and heat all the chemicals there and then cool them down to the required temp before poring in.. and if i get a roller to roll my drum it will be even more comfortable..
the good about DIY is you do not need to wait.
my first 4 slides are processed by losheng... no marks at all.. perhaps this is one good thing about using machine.. i still got no idea why the marks are there..

Plane tickets can be found cheap. Send one person with a bunch of film and everyone pays part of the cost for the flight.

sad too that commonwealth fotohub is no longer doing E6 soon, and I live so near commonwealth too. Only realized it today when I went down to develop my films. Guess Lo Sheng is the way to go now.
