Hi everyone!

Over the past couple of weeks I have been putting together my first 4x5 kit. I took my first image yesterday and was able to get it developed today. It was exciting to see that large chunk of film sitting on the light table. WOW! It looked great! I was impressed that I got anything at all since there are so many steps to this processes. It's too bad that I didn't get it scanned at the time, or I would have posted it. (It's the view from the top of the Santa Barbara Court House in Santa Barbara, CA where I live)

I bought a Meridian 45B from ebay and picked up some film holders from C list. Just using my digital camera as a light meter right now. I'm trying to keep my investment down untill I'm sure I want to continue. However, after today's results I think I might be hooked. I think it might be a good thing that I can't get to the buy and sell forum until after I've been registered for a month.
