Hi all. Following my previous thread Neg to Lab i would like to ask if anyone out there has any, good condition, three part 8x10 neg boxes to spair so that i can get my negs to the lab in one piece. 2 or 3 should get me going will pay postage.

As sheet film comes in one light tight bag, how would you recomend it be wraped for sending to a lab? As i would not be sending the whole 10 sheets at any one time. I did find a plastic bag company hear in the UK willing to provide the answer, light proof 500 micron black plastic bags, min...

Hi Helen. Thanks for the info, most helpful. Yes i have a color meter it's a Gossen i got it of that ebay thing. I want to get the neg as close as possible to perfect for my own peace of mind, and you know what they say, if you want something doing properly do it yourself. The negs...

Thanks Helen. I plan to use only Kodak Portra 100T. It would be used in many lighting situations, mostly outside and many subjects. I want to produce the best possible neg without having to correct it later in Photshop prior to printing. PS. like the hair by the way.

Sorry buddy, forgot to mention that these filters are for film exposure.

When correcting for color with gel filters, would it be better to use a wratten or cc filter system? At the moment i have not decided, but just wondered what other people have used. It is quite an investment in a filter set, and i want to get it right.

How about the Arca Cube. It aint cheep, but way coooooooool.

Has anyone any advice on densitometers for use with negs. Types and cost would be good and any recomendations.

Or to be more precise how to atain such a neg. Assuming that you are having your LF negs processed by a good pro lab exactly what would the 1. Subject matter be, color card or grey card? 2. Would it help to use a color meter and wratten filters? 3. Could the lab analyse the neg so...

Anyone know if we have a UK version of S K Grimes?

Has anyone used an 480 Apo-Ronar process lens on a camera? If so what was your opinion?

Hi Mark, dont know about cheep you normaly gets what you pay for. Try these folks over hear in the UK, www.camerabellows.com If i'm not mistaken they make the bellows for Keith's Canham cameras.

Talking of huge, how about 900mm coverage. That big enough. Fine Art lenses from S-K 550mm and 1100mm.

Color neg 100asa Tungsten film. Sorry no makers name as yet as this is still on going and not settled. The more interest there is the more chance there is of a deal being made. The film is primarily for my own use but due to the large cost involved i may offer it to others. No costs...

If any 8x20 users out there would be interested in color neg film please post your interest hear.
