Well I worked a bit with 4x5" in photo academy (Brussels) in the late 80's and then again in a commercial studio (Amsterdam) in the late 90's, but somehow I never really liked LF. When a friend bought a Cambo TWR 54 recently -magnificently unique camera BTW- I suddenly realised just why I had never quite liked 4x5: it was simply too small for my taste! SO with that newfound insight I bought myself an old 8x10" Sinar P (with a Norma back). :cool:
I just exposed a few B&W sheets and developed them, and it's amazing to see that old habits die hard (loading sheet film, mixing D76 developer, etc.). But I still see myself as a complete newbie when it comes to LF, I really need to improve my technique but I am confident I will manage so I can start with colour. Great forum, lot's of valuable knowledge, thanks!
