Hi everyone!
I'm thrilled to find such a tremendous resource and spirited people here. Thanks for doing this!
I'm here because I'm curious about switching from MF to LF.
I'm shooting portraits and have recently acquired a very sturdy tripod and head.
Ever since, I'm shooting all my portraits on it. I love the process of setting up, composing, focusing and then stepping back from the camera, look at my subject, look at the light and if everything fits, I trip the shutter. 1/4 of a second is now music to my ears.
I'm thinking that I might be up for the challenge of shooting LF.
I would have to change my developing tank or maybe get this MOD54 thing and also upgrade my scanner from a V600 to V700.
I'm not necessarily after a greater "image quality". But I think that the more care and dedication I put into a photograph, the more rewarding the experience when all turns out well.
Another thought was that I might just get a 6x9 like a Century Graphic instead of LF. That way I wouldn't have to upgrade my process.
But then again I haven't seen much portrait photography done one 6x9.
This is what I have been up to so far:

Does my thinking make sense to you?
Any recommendations?
Thanks so much!
