Hi from Richmond Virginia

[Kyle Newell]

Hi,

First I'd like to thank everybody for their posts. It gave be the confidence to go ahead and place an order from KEH. I'm new to LF, if you don't count my shoe box pinhole camera. I have a 4X5 TOYO ViewG on the way, and I cant wait to delve into LF with all y'all. I'm mainly interested in portrait, landscape and after my feet get wet I'd like to explore alternative processing.

Thanks again

[Walter Calahan]

Enjoy the process!

I think you're off to a very good start with the Toyo. I recently converted to monorail from field, but haven't really had time to use it yet. I almost bought a Toyo myself, but ended up with a Sinar instead. From what more experienced users tell me, there's not really so much difference between the two. I'm most interested in portraits, but maybe some architecture, too. Welcome, and enjoy!

Kyle: welcome to the LF forum. Hope to see you around the state some day (I live near Roanoke)

Hi Kyle,

I live in Mechanicsville. How is the Toyo working for you?

Welcome! I'm also fairly new to it and looking to do the alternate processes, mainly with glass plate. And I'm not too far off (Williamsburg/NN).

Hi Kyle,

Welcome aboard. You live in a great location for LF. I could spend days in your Hollywood Cemetary alone.

Best wishes,
