I am thinking about starting in Large Format. I thinking about cost not only start up for equipment but for possessing. First equipment: I would like to start with used equipment. I am undecided to which size to go with. I am wanting to go for the best in clarity. Is 11x14 better than 4x5 in clarity? Most of my prints would be around 11x14 or so. What would be about the cost difference in equipment of 4x5 and 11x14? Second processing: What would be the different in processing. I have no dark room or skills so I guess I would send it out. Talk about cost difference of processing between 4x5 and 11x14. The learning curve on burning film: I have the basic understanding of light. I have two years in digital. I do all or most of my settings in manual. I have the worry about making mistakes and having to try again and I feel that could get expensive for me. I like some advice on keeping the cost down for beginners while I learn the Large Format. I am reading in the how-to articles but it does not answer cost that well to me. I do mostly nature/outdoors photography. If you have any questions ask or e-mail me.
Thanks
