    cropping on enlarging

    Konota cropped my 35mm negatives (without my asking them to do so) pretty significantly while enlarging to 6R. Is this something to be expected when making 6R prints? I would have thought that something which prints without cropping on 4R should print without cropping on 6R.

    I picked up a brand new Seagull 4A-105 in Guangzhou, China last week for S$375 (with case). Looking at Seagull discussions on the net since, it looks like I paid too much and it is actually cheaper in Singapore? WOuld appreciate confirmation that either I got conned, or the prices referred to on...

    Darkroom Rental

    Does anyone know of a good darkroom available for rental in Singapore? (Other than the ones at Objectifs and PSS). I'll be happy with a room which is actually dark, has a good enlarger with integrated timer, and does not allow more than one person to work at a time.
