a lot of things to do; but a nice start :-)

hi my friends, after the decision buying a large format camera it took me a lot of hours/days and months to get the whole information.
information about the camera, the lenses, films etc etc...three weeks ago I get my charmonix and my lenses....

today i got my first negative from a labor; every negative have a quite good exposure; here are two samples (I focused more on the correct settings than finding the perfect composition)

fuji velvia 50
nikkor 300mm f9

i just put the negatives on my ipad and take a picture with a macro; so quality should be much better with a scanner and cleaned negatives.

ps
getting the first 4x5 negatives is very exciting :-)

Congratulations on your first (of many) LF images.

Congrats and you're off to a great start.

I've always thought that 300 or even longer works really well on 4x5.

Ooooooh. That first one is great!

Excellent start! I am especially liking the first one. Great the way the focus fades out.
