    Returning to LF

    Hey everyone,

    I'm Mark. I was a commercial still life photographer in the late 80's and 90's, mostly catalog and editorial with some advertising from time to time. Shot everything on 8x10 and 4x5 but have since changed careers. Since I had sold off all of my equipment (big mistake) about 13 yrs ago I've been looking to get another 4x5 and start shooting LF again.

    I've been lurking on the forums for a little while and wanted to finally post an introduction.

    Don't worry, I'm sure you'll pick up a 4x5 for a tenth of the price you paid for it in the 80s!

    Welcome, Mark! Film's still available, and a few things have changed, but I just got some film back from Praus Productions lab, and yeah, baby!, that's what I like!
