    LF rookie lookig to get his feet wet

    Hi,

    my name is Dennis and after spending the last years shooting medium format and 35mm I would really, really like to get started in at least 4x5. To date I have no experience what so ever with anything larger than 120 film. The great crowd at APUG directed me here for more specific infos and 'learn as you read along' here in the Large Format Photography Forum. So I apologize right from the beginning for stupid questions and I can't wait to get started.

    Have a great day
    Dennis

    Welcome Dennis!
    I suggest getting a hold of Simmons' Using The View Camera Its a very good primer.
