So I got my camera. Shen Hao TZIIB + 180mm f/5.6.
I've been reading some books and articles on focusing.
These books have good explainations, but I find many lack practical understandable examples.
I wish to start this thread to be a collection of "assignments" people can do to get familiar with large format photography. I am a new beginner itself, my camera is about a week old now; so I will need your help too.
