Hi from a new recruit
Just a shout out / intro from a (film) newbie in Qld. Been shooting DSLR for 6 yrs now and bought a Rolleicord about 6 months ago and have been doing B&W development at home. Just picked up an RZ 67 kit to add to the MF fetish and hope to start doing my own C-41 at home too.
Chemicals have been a pain in the arse to source - I'm waiting hear back from AG Photographic to see if theyre still shipping C41 chemistry down here - as Vanbar didnt have individual chems that I need. Freestyle have the Unicolor powder kits but I've heard a kit with seperate bleach and fix will give better results.
At the moment I'm using a mail order place and paying $8 for C-41 and $12 for E-6 per roll + $6 for TIFF scans.
Looking forward to seeing some results from the new Plustek 120 scanner - to see whether its worth the investment.
Anyhow, great to have a forum devoted to film. Look forward to contributing something when I get competenent enough haha :)

I always find it odd when american complain about sourcing, because i have the choice of only three european dealers, and often have to order from US dealers in the end.

Americans? Queensland is still part of Australia.

Ha. The more you know! That was my fault then. (I always seem to forget about that place...)
Nevertheless, welcome to the forum, i hope you enjoy your mamiya, i sure as hell love my rb67.

Thanks! I've just ordered the 5L Rollei Digibase C-41 kit from macodirect, now just the long wait for it to get here. In the mean time I need to pick up some ND grads - poor wallet.
