Hello from Rome, Italy!

[padesig]

I'm Paolo and I'm starting in these days large format, with a pinhole 4x5, a nice camera made by an Italian guy. This is my first step in the LF world! [emoji4] I hope to share here some impressions and experience... I started to shooting film in a conscious manner from about five years, 35mm and MF, developing and printing my work...

Welcome to the forum. I have to warn you though that some start with a pinhole, get hooked, and end up buying lots of expensive lenses. :)

Welcome aboard! Pin hole cameras are a lot of fun, and Italy is a beautiful country. Architecture doesn't move around a lot, so it's a perfect subject for pin hole cameras:)

Welcome Paolo, you may find pinhole quite addictive and start building your own.

Thank you all for your warm welcome!! Yes, I hope that LF will be my favorite format in terms of pictures and photographic projects!

Welcome! Post your pinholes here.

The sharpness of the pinhole is impressive, it is an electronic microscope diaphragm 300 micron, 0,3 mm... Stunning!
Film is Adox CHS 100 II in HC-110 1+47 8:30 20°C
