OOH, are there enough of us to have regional meetings and organized photo excursions?

Welcome Steve!

I started out 2 years ago with a Wollensak Raptar 4,7/135mm in a Rapax shutter (looks very similar to your lens). I think this is a great lens to get started with ...many of the pics on my 'homepage' (i.e. page of learnings) were made with it.

Cheers,
Patrik

Steve, welcome to the forum. If you send me an email with your address, I will mail you a copy of Graphic Graflex Photography, the Bible of large format photography as a gift.

Wow! Thanks guys for ALL the greetings.

It would be nice to have some type of camera group to go out and have fun with. My work schedule is not very flexible, but I'd give it a try.

I'm new to LF as I've been doing MF and 35mm the past few years. So, I really appreciate any info that I get. Now...just to get more time to DO it.
