I finally took my first large format photos. Attached is a 90mm shot with my Chamonix 4X5 as well as a 210mm shot. The f/stop for both photos were either f/22 or f/32. I am not quite sure if I focused correctly and if the exposure could have been better, but at least I loaded the film correctly. I did not even try to tilt, since I don’t know how to use this feature yet.

I had my D700 and 17-35mm with me so I took a few handheld shots at f/22 to provide a baseline for comparison. What characteristics differentiate 4X5 from a D700 and what should I be looking for in the photo? How can I improve my future shots.
