Hello from France

[tymeorama]

Hi all, This is Guillaume from France. I decided to join this very useful forum after being a long time collector of vintage russian lenses. Now I started to collect a few large format vintage lenses in order to give them a new life: all the lenses I collect are meant to be used on my shootings. I don't know if I'm supposed to say that, but I've never used a large format camera (neither a medium one by the way)... I only use DSLR with adapters for now.
I've found many useful informations on this forum and maybe I will be able to do large format imaging one day.
Best regards

[John Kasaian]

I suggest you don't use Large Format, as it is addictive!

I'll try to remember this advice ;)

Exactly, and therefore you should never look at any "classifieds" section on ANY forum.

Never look here! (https://www.largeformatphotography.info/forum/forumdisplay.php?27-For-Sale-For-Trade)

And of course, never, ever look here, even if the equipment for sale is located in Switzerland, Belgium, Québec (Canada) or France, places where people speak French! (http://www.galerie-photo.info/forumgp/list.php?6)

My favorite vacation cities are Montreal and Quebec.

Been there, done that, many times.

I've never shot LF, only medium format film and digital. But I read this forum because I learn a lot of information that can be transferred to my photography. Welcome aboard.
