Colour LF photography in Australia too costly!!

[Gary Tarbert]

Hi Noah , i am $14 per click plus shipping for the film purchase ,Funny of all my off the wall purchases from my store 60% are LF film they are big prints 36 inches on the long side , Yet LF prints only represent 30% of the work , So maybe the punters can tell the difference!!!

Gary,

I've just got 10 4x5's back from VisionImage lab in Sydney 6 C41 and 4 E6 for 85$. That's $8.50 each.

Rgds,

that's the cheapest I have seen in Aus I am based in Western Australia so we tend to pay a bit more for almost everything

Gary,

We used to 'compete' against one another at the Willeton photo club in the early 2000's. I do remember you.

I pay just as much as you to ship to Sydney.

Cheers,

Steve

Don't be too quick to discount C-41 and RA-4. It's more costly these days but the extra cost are worth it. Here's an image captured of Fuji Reala (this was several years ago and it may have been another Fuji film) with my 6x7 Pentax with a 165mm lens. I was photographing inside a California mission and got trapped in a side room by a wedding. While inside I found this neat-looking Clerestory and printed the negative with my Jobo. It's a 16x20 print and I plan on matting and mounting it to 22x28.

PS: No flash - all ambient lighting.

It $9.95 here in Melbourne for a 4x5 sheet (same for a 120 roll but at least you get 10 images from that). To rich for me as well Gary, although I can do E6 at home so I save up any E6 fil and sell the few boxes of Veliva nad Provia I have until its worth developing using a kit. But I could happily not use 4x5 colour and sell the few boxes of Velvia and Provia I have.

Hey Shane, I'm always open for purchasing more colour film.
Who can you recommend for processing in Melbourne?
