Finally getting situated enough to pursue film in a way that is meaningful to me. I have owned Large Format cameras for a few years just never had the opportunity to take the time to learn.
As my passion is in creative portraits that is where I will be spending most of my time in the large format venue. To start with I have a Graphic View II 4x5, a Century 10A on the 1A Stand, a Crown Graphic 4x5, and a variety of lenses that I will experiment with.
I also will be setting up my darkroom with a Durst450 CLS, but because much of my workflow is already digital I will be adding a flatbed scanner and large format printer for contact printing.
Although I love the 8x10 camera after all the reading and pros vs cons I will probably move towards 5x7 work for awhile, because I have the film holders, back, and can't see much reason from a scanning perspective to justify the cost in 8x10 (at least while I am getting my feet wet).
I really look forward to getting to know the members in this forum.
