Hmm, I'm late to the party, but it ought to cover...
As per the question in the title. Can I, instead of putting a large number of listings on here, do item descriptions on my own website and link to that? To be clear, my website will have the items...

I routinely develop 4x5 provia and velvia in tetenal kits. Depending on conditions and requirements, I shoot quite a few sheets, but work with one later kits to keep everything as fresh as possible....
Thanks again all for the input. I'm waiting for an invoice, but seem to have sourced the required B/W chemicals. Had a look at prolab, but they have changed their developing times for E6 doing...
Update: Found a place that stocks chemicals and ships Australia wide, so that sorts the B/W situation. I'm good to wing that on the go. Have a quote for e6 around AUD 9 a sheet from 50 and up, which...
Thank you both for the suggestions, looking into it over the weekend!
Over the years, I have spent at least a few months a year in Australia. While I have extensively photographed many locations and worked for various conservation agencies, my commercial work has been...
Hi Bob,
Never thought of hat, but it sounds very practical! However, it does not solve my current problem as I am working with a tent due to lack of space. Anyway, I'm done cutting 150 sheets,...
The title pretty much sums it up. I'm shooting a few non-standard formats for which film is hard or impossible to get. To get to the right sizes for the emulsions I want (provia, velvia, foma, fp4),...
Thanks for the pointers and suggestion. I'm familiar with the neutral grey option in vuescan. It works iffy at best though due to color-shifts. I'm considering just shooting with a neutral grey card...
Ah yes, my response was long overdue. I never did hack the second 4x5 holder I got... However, I have another solution. It's using magnetic sheets to achieve the right thickness (distance from the...
I have arch-shaped streaks on the sky when I scan velvia and provia... It does not affect any b/w negatives. Any ideas what causes this? Thanks.
Thank you, I'll try. It's a shame to create images on large sheets of film to only have them display as thumbnails. Just had a look, even at the forum size 4x10 does not really work. There's too much...
Experimenting with tanol. More for prints than scans, but quite decent in digital too.
Foma 200, 4x10, arca, tanol 1+1+100, 16 minutes, manual inversions, 20C.

PS how do I insert a...
Hello all,
A quick question. I've just processed a batch of 4x5 slides. It's provia 100 that expired a few years back and was always kept cool. With the fall colours outside, I'm burning through...
Might just be the reflection, but the brownish sheets look like they need some more stab to me, they seem not to have cleared...
For a cokin red, I read 3.5 stops on my seconic meter. Generally go with three and it works fine.
Hello all,
Normally, I tend to shoot other emulsions, but recently someone offered me a huge (expired) batch of prove 100F from a freezer. Given the price, I could not resist and I am now he lucky...
Nice image, should look into stand developing myself. Here's one from last week in Belgium. 13x18 foma 100 shot at box speed, computer 150mm, Rodinal in a drum processor at 20C for 8:20.

Quite happy with my graphic kowa and computar lenses. Also use an apo ronar 360mm, but pending develiping some sheets shot with an alternative it may have to go. Still prefer my g-clarons... They...
Hi Tony,
I've been out and about, but no, the thread should be alive and kicking. Would be nice if some more people chimed in with their experiences and samples. Deapite the altered backing, the...
4x10 is an interesting format. I shoot it at times but cutting the film is a bit inconvenient... Besides that it is fairly straight forward. Landscapea on widenlenses can pose a challenge with the...
You know I love the g-clarons... However, they seem to have been going up in price lately. I now have a kowa in shutter (well, it is on its way here) for significantly less than i would have paid for...
Hi Steve, you might be onto something. I mainly shoot the nikon on 4x10. Call me spoiled, but my other lenses on my favourite format (5x7) are just sharp all the way out to the corners. The few that...
Haha, very astute advice as always Lachlan. We would get along very well. Anyway, point taken (and lens was already bought, I get greedy when I see interesting glass...) ;)
Thanks for the input. If only it did what it is said to do, I would be very happy. However, testing it again and again, I find that my nikkor sw lenses render more contrast and more acute images than...
Good day all,
As some of you may recall from other posts, I am somewhat disappointed by the performance of my nikkor m 300mm lens. It's sharp, throws a large circle and is highly portable, but...
Nothing scientific, but I've recently completed testing of a whole range of process lenses, including g-clarons. All I can say is that when stopped down, g-clarons yield incredible detail at pretty...
Hello all, no images this time but an observation. The other day, I opened a new box of fomapan 100 (4x5 exp in 2018). When loading, I noticed the film was more warped than usual and peeled a bit...
Good day Kumar,
I'm not familiar with payment systems in Japan as I have not worked there. However, I do know a few people in financial services over there. With regards to the best way to receive...
No need to explain currency transactions, believe it or not, I started my career in the dealing room as a forex trader a long time ago... The mid-market as mentioned means very little as it is...
Well, I just sent a paypal transfer to someone. The paypal rate for USD 225 was in excess of EUR 210! The actual spot rate would put that below USD 200. In short, paypal skimmed over 5% on the...
If it is in good condition, we can trade. I have a 3006 for six sheets of 4*5 or 5*7 that sees little use.
Hi Drew, thanks for your observation. That is what I would have expected too. I'm absolutely positive the lens is clean, the coating is fine, it's pretty much like new. Beats me. I have done a lot of...
Hello all, I'm just back from a trip to Southern Europe, where I shot with a variety of lenses I had not used before. Mainly light process lenses as I need(ed) to shed weight on my kit. Anyway, I...
I've used a few 90mm lenses, including the schneider SA. It's a good lens, but somehow I never got along with it. I've since switched to a nikkor 90 SW (8) and am very pleased with the results. Both...
Haha wow, I stand corrected, never saw the rodenstock, was thinking symmar...
Firs off, the 210 goes in a copal 1. Secondly, a sinar shutter will be of little use if he does not use a sinar camera... Anyway, it's a nice lens.
