Apologies if this is posted in the wrong place.
I have been thinking about shooting with a large format camera for a while, but don't know where to start. I think the idea of taking my time to shoot with the camera would really suit my shooting style. I aim to shoot black and white and my goal is to get a nice range of tones in my images and print them at good clarity up to 100cmx100cm in size. I shoot landscapes and will do all my processing digitally.
There's a lot of information on the internet, but I was hoping someone could give me some more concrete information on this forum.
I'd like some advice on what actual gear I need to buy. I think I need the following, but would like some clarification or suggestions:
Camera - Perhaps a Tachihara 4x5
Lens - 80 or 90mm not sure what type to buy
Light meter
Scanner - Do I need a flatbed or are drum scans better for the size I want.
I also don't want to spend too much money on gear but I'd like to get as good print quality as I can.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
