Hello from Colorado

[wpowers]

Hi,
I've had this account for a while but I've never posted before today. I've been doing film photography for a while, and I've finally fixed up an old Burke and James 4x5 press camera I found in my grandfather's closet. The lens it came with isn't working reliably, and it didn't have a ground glass. But I picked up a Schneider 210/5.6 lens, made a lens board for it, and made a (not very good) ground glass. I've taken a few test images and it seems like things are mostly working! I'm excited to get into large format

Welcome!
Got into large format about 4 years ago after many years of film and wondering what it would be like. You'll have fun.

Welcome to the FORUM.

Since you too are in Colorado, it seems that you have discovered large format photography at a perfect time to step up to the plate:
