New here, gone film crazy

[alex best]

Welcome aboard, Alex. I've been working in 8x10 for about 10 years now. It was a pretty easy step from 4x5. Now thinking about going to a larger format, like 12x20...

I think I'll just stick to 8x10 for now.

It's always good to welcome another 8x10er! Now go make pictures!

One thing at a time.

have fun. post pics....

Welcome to group therepy, Alex. Sounds like you'll probably be a regular here.

Thanks Vick, can't wait to get a camera and take my first picture!

Cool, thanks!

Kodak, where is my kickback check??

Somehow I think you're out of luck.

[Andrew O'Neill]

What's a kick back check?? Sounds like what our defencemen used to do to the opposition in hockey. Why don't you guys down there spell it properly. It's cheque for crying out loud!

[Gem Singer]

Hockey expression, EH?

I've never had a Canadian refuse to accept one of my CHECKS.

(How in the heck do you pronounce CHE QUE?).

(How in the heck do you pronounce CHE QUE?).

It's "Chay-KWAH," obviously. It's French!

[alex best]

lol

[Michael Cienfuegos]

It's "Chay-KWAH," obviously. It's French!

Not "SHEK?"

[Ben Syverson]

Not "SHEK?"

You're right -- I was giving the French-Canadian pronunciation, which is quite different.

[Andrew O'Neill]

I love you guys!

[Jim Galli]

Welcome aboard. Brute force tonality is where it's at.

And should you wish to try one of the alternative processes, 8x10 gives a suitable negative size for it. (IMO)
