    Cool Hello from South Florida

    Hello Hello!

    Just registered within this forum recently. I'm just getting into large format photography as I've decided last week.

    Looking to buy a field camera soon (still doing some research) but already purchased a lens (Rodenstock Apo-Sironar-S 210 mm F/5.6). Well, I'm looking forward towards the entire experience of what large format has to offer!
    Little about myself: I've been doing photography for about 7 years now. Mostly shoot portraits and new face models. Started off film photography in high school then switched to digital for almost 5, 1/2 years and now switched back to film because digital was becoming a lazy process for me. Deciding to sell all of my digital gear, I switch back to film, wanting to challenge myself again technically and critically; plus I've never had the experience to shoot film with people. So far I've been shooting film again for almost a year and Love the whole process and experience. I've networked with many film photographers recently and some say you must jump into large format and well... here I am. For now I want to start off with a 4x5 format to get my feet wet.

    You can find more of my work at: www.DKimg.com

    Happy Shooting everyone!

    Thank you Thank you! So after doing some research and seeing what's out on the market currently, I went ahead and purchased an Ebony 45RW body

    Hi, Dominik! Welcome to the wonderful world of LF! I was just showing a couple of chromes to my coworkers this morning. I imagine that you've looked at your E6 shots with a loupe before. Now imagine that being 4x5! Awesome detail!

    As you may have noticed, developing LF film may require sending it out. I use Edgar Praus, and his quality and service are exemplary. Since no labs develop color LF in Washington state, I use him for all my color work.

    You have a great camera and a great lens. Now it's time to grab all of the accessories, and get going!

    Everything came in! I'll hopefully get a few shots this weekend in Black and White film to start off things. I develop everything in house so.
