hello, me too

great. 5x7 is a nice format. look into van dyke brown contact printing. it is a lot of fun. i bought the chemicals and mix it up myself. with about 50-75 worth of chemicals you have enough chemicals to print for a "lifetime"

here are some prints i made yesterday. (4x5)

enjoy.

Congrats.

I started with 4x5 and happened to have 5x7 and my 4x5 is sleeping. I recently bought a 8x10.

I've been shooting 4x5 for a while now and I am planing on getting a 5x7 next year. I've been under a self imposed no new equipment rule for this year. Some how I picked up an RZ67 so I guess my rule was/is no new Large Format equipment this year

Welcome, I think you may be starting with the ideal format!
