Hi folks, I've been interested in photography for most of my life and an avid shooter for a lot of it. LF has always been of particular interest but I've never owned one. I'm feeling the need to try something new, so here I am. The process of working with one of these cameras really interests me.
My first thought was to learn about the camera by using instant film, but now I find out that Fuji is getting out of that market as Polaroid did a few years ago. I have done 35mm and MF developing with daylight tanks since I don't have access to a darkroom, or a good space to put one. I'm mainly (but not exclusively) interested in b&w over color for this, and hoping that the BTZS tube developer set might work with a changing bag.
But from there my big (stupid) question is, what do I do with those great big 4x5 negs? I don't see wet printing them myself any time soon (if ever). Huge prints aren't really my thing, but is home scanning on a flatbed and printing to 8x10 to 16x20 worth the trouble? And I know that 4x5 chromes are incredible too, but basically I'd have the same question for that.
Thanks...
