Hello Everyone,
my name is Valerio and I live in London, United Kingdom. I've been a keen photographers for at least 20 years, and in the past used all formats from 35mm tomedium format, film and digital. I've been wanting to own a large format camera since I first saw the works of Ansel Adams.
Well, yesterday I realised my dream and bought my first large format kit. Initially I thought of buying a brand new one, but then the person in the studio proposed me a second hand camera and lens that were in very good condition, so I went for it. So here's what I've got: a Linhof Kardan Super Color 4x5 with a Sinar Sinaron S 150mm f/5.6 lens.
I'm going on holiday in Italy (the country where I was born) in a couple of days and I can't wait to start using my kit. I bought a Fuji PA-45 holder and I will begin shooting on instant film, so that I can see immediately what I'm doing right and, especially, what I'm doing wrong.
Anyways, here I am and I hope to make a lot of new friends, all passionate about large format photography.
Ciao!
