GX617 and GSW690 together will weigh noticeably more than a pair of GW/GSW 690's and the combined volume is much greater, too. But if you can cope with all that, they make a formidable landscape and travel outfit! ;)

Yes Dirk , nice shot near the Sword Lake :)

I think you shoot most in film and your wife digital :D

A wise and thoughtful decision

Thanks for posting

Best

Henry

 

Hi Henry,

 

thank you.

Yes that's true. My wife and the Rolleiflex try to become friends, but I think it's still a long way...  :)

Dirk , I know a lot of photographers in VN specially in HN who shoot film with Rollei . If you like

I can send you by MP the links.

It's specially useful for the next time you go to VN , to have these addresses for labs or shops

who sell film in emergency case :) and to meet them for shooting.

 

Very beautiful lady Dirk.

Happy New Year of the Rooster :)

Best

Henry

Thanks a lot Henry, I would love to get some contacts in Vietnam. 

 

Henry, I"ll be travelling through Malaysia, Thailand, Burma, (back to Thailand), Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam over the next five months. I can only travel with so much film. I will be seeking places that develop and also sell film. I won't need these in Malaysia and don't expect to find much in Burma, but in I'm hoping to replenish stocks of b&w 400 ISO film in Bangkok and also hope to get some developed, so it's stable and relatively immune to airport x-rays. Perhaps even send some home by post. I'm doubtful of finding much in Laos and Cambodia. So that's down to Thailand and Vietnam where I expect to find places which do such work. I've been trying to read up on the internet as much as I can find but any more info would be greatly appreciated.

I have 50,000+ photos on my Flickr around 95% of which is untagged which makes searching a bit difficult (mildly put). This is because my workflow has changed a lot over the years. Occasionally I'll dig up stuff from years back and process them.

 

Here's one from one of our lovely heathen festivities, the 'Valborg' or Walpurgis night on 30 April taken in 2002 on the island of Gotland where I grew up. The motif itself is nothing special except a really large bonfire near the sea. Still I like how it came out after a bit of processing in Adobe Camera Raw. At that time I shot virtually exclusively Velvia 50 pushed one stop. The camera would have been my trusty EOS 1N and the lens probably the (less trusty) EF 50/1.4. Scanned on my Coolscan V ED (which I almost prefer to the 9000 for 135 film since it can leave a bit of a frame and the quality is almost the same).

Hi Suede, I hope you don't mind if I interject here, but I sometimes buy film via the auction site from a company called filmsfestival-au who are based in Thailand. They seem to have a good variety of films, their stock is fresh and the prices are very good. They might be worth contacting to see if they have an outlet in Bangkok. I have no affiliation with them aside from being an occasional customer.

Thanks, mate.

 

Far from being an interjection, it's a most welcome suggestion to explore film 'festival-au'. The link didn't lead me anywhere useful right now but I'll try and exploit it further later in the day.

...Nikon Coolscan 5000 and no correction...

 

I've been thinking about the meaning of the statement of [straight out of the scanner] "with no correction" that you often make, presumably meaning that you're happy how the image looks scanned by your Coolscan 5000 applying the preset from the Coolscan scanner software for the film in question, color or B&W. To me, however, all that means is that you're happy with the quality equivalent of a small "drugstore print" that one used to get from a processing machine, which necessarily used an average, automatic setting. Often, speaking of color negative film, we used to take a frame we particularly liked to a custom lab to have a large print made by a master printer; the same for a special frame of B&W film, if we didn't make large prints ourselves in our own darkroom

 

From this point of view, I don't see as a positive value the fact that a particular scan has had "no correction" applied to it. This, I think is particularly true today since a "hybrid workflow" has revolutionized the ease with which we can make digital prints from negatives, particularly color negatives — even silver prints, if we so wish. And for this purpose many photographers, if not most, prefer a low contrast scan, that lends itself to processing into the best final image and print.
