Hi everyone!
My name is Matias and I'm from Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Just got interested in LF photography and was looking around to get some gear to start taking some 4x5. Few friends of mine are taking pictures and workshops and It's contagious, I got interested too.

I was looking for a camera to start with and got a shen hao field camera in mind with a 150mm lens... Just gotta save and find some nice stuff to get.

Besides photography, I'm studying pharmacy and work as a pharmacist assistant.

Glad to be part of this new forum for me!
Matias.

A Shen Hao with 150mm lens would be great to start off with. Buy a nice used outfit if you can so you can save some money for film, film holders, tripod, etc. You can always use a black T-shirt for a dark cloth.

Welcome to the forum, Matias!

Welcome Matias! Curious to see you're from Buenos Aires as I've just started to learn tango and BA has become of some interest to me. Perhaps someday I'll get to visit.

Welcome to the forum, Matias!

Yes, that's what I'm aiming for. Still reading about lenses and stuff to get to know what to get and saving money.

Hola Matias y bienvenido! Although it's been a few years since I was last in Argentina, I had a wonderful time in BsAs and Iguazu and I can't wait to get back. You'll really enjoy that little Shen Hao - it's a terrific camera and it will last you many years.

Matias, I meant to ask, are you familiar with the Sub photography cooperative (http://www.sub.coop/en) group? I came a cross their site a few days ago, and I thought it would be neat if they had a large format photographer with them.
