Hi Robert

Looking forward to meeting you when you are here.
Happy for you to stay at my place on your way out of Sydney if you like. I do live quite a way from the airport and I do have a 2 year...

Hi Anthony

Don't worry, you aren't stepping on anyone's toes.

I'm glad for any and all suggestions.
I am easy. I have a car and will go wherever the vote decides. Balls Head sounds like a...

Hi Anthony

Sounds good to me.

If Robert T is the catalyst that brings Sydney LF users together then so be it.

I'm happy with any location / times etc.

Let's make it happen.

ID-11 from Fotoriesel in Kent Street and Vanbar in Sydney (Can't remember the suburb).
Comes in a 1 Litre and 5 Litre powder pack in a box. Both have a range of chemicals too.
Vanbar's website is...

Thanks for that.

For black and white I've been using Delta 100 from local suppliers, which has been giving me good results, but is expensive. Australia is such a void in terms of variety. Seems...

Hi 612Tom

Yes the skies are glorious of late. I drove in to Mascot this morning (Tuesday morning) and saw the sun come up as I was going over Anzac Bridge. Would have loved to have stopped right...

Hi Carey

Yes, great forum!!!

I know FotoRiesel well. Have mostly used Vision Graphics for film processing as they are closer to me, but am keen to try other cheaper labs.
I'm in Hornsby. Where...

Hi Robert

I am in the northern suburbs of Sydney, quite a way from the airport and pretty much removed from everything else come to think of it. Nearest beach is about an hour away, although the...

It would be great to organise a group meet somewhere.

Hi Steve

Thanks for the info on Freestyle. Great store!!! There goes my bank balance...
Never heard of Arista before. What made you go for it?

Well, hope I am able to meet roteague. Would be...

Hi roteague

If you have the time we could meet up, depending on your schedule of course. Are you planning a shoot while you are in Sydney?

Hi OldBikerPete

Thanks for your comments.

I haven't used them as yet, but hopefully they have come good again.
Are you still processing your own colour film? Negs or transparency?

Cheers

Hi David

Thanks for all your great information. It is really appreciated.

I am currently waiting on a shipment of film (50 sheets Fuji) from an eBay store. Seemed reputable enough, but time...

Hi Mike

Thanks for that info.

Yes, stupidly expensive to buy and to process. I develop my own black and white and as mentioned use Vision Graphics for colour. I will definitely check out Bond...

Hi Mike

Thanks for the invite. Can't say I get down there very often. The last time was in '92 or '93 except for a brief stop over on the way back from overseas.
I almost came down to pick up a...

Done!! Drilled, filled and drilled again. (Phone pic)

Lens looks fabulous. Can't wait to use it.

View from my window Tuesday 14th...

Hi Vick

Thanks for that.
Hmmm... I will make the decision tomorrow, to drill or not to drill. I might drill as I will undoubtedly lose the screw if I remove it, plus it is going to be a...

Yes, I suspected that, but not having a drill or drill bits (at home) I was hoping for a quicker and easier solution so I can start using the lens this weekend. Oh well, sometimes that is just the...

Just want to say hi and of course plunge head long in with a question.
I have a Cambo 4" x 5" and have just purchased a Schneider Apo Symmar 210mm f5.6 lens :) to go with my Caltar 150mm. I also...
