Colour LF photography in Australia too costly!!

Thomas you are cheating! Is that a painting?

Hi jumanji,

It's a real Clerestory that's been painted as shown. The white in the window panes came out paper white and where they look "dirty" is actually trees on the outside that are out of focus and grossly under-exposed. The Pentax did a great job for this subject and the exposure was several seconds long.

Depending on the subject of course but in my humble opinion nothing goes close to replacing colour in the right circumstances. Its just that you can get awfully picky about the subject before you pull out the film. This especially gets a little wearisome when you travel with film and don't use it.

The LF game isn't for the snappers.

I've been eyeing off the 5x7 Velvia in Japan for some time but I just wish they'd tart the 100 Velvia up a bit. IMO the 50 is a bit too tarted mind you ...

Depends on your workflow but if scanning you can tart it up a bit in PS , But must admit not always as simple as that , I find a character of a film amplified can sometimes be unpleasant . Regards gary

Well there Micheals in City who do all, Prism Colour in Nth Melb do C41, then you have Vanber, The Colour Factory both in Fitzroy and Bond Colour in Richmond. There the main labs.

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