I have been peeking at this forum for a few years, usually when I am looking for some particular scrap of info. I don't know why, but I decided that today was the day to become more interactive.
I have been involved with large format photography for nearly 20 years, I have built my own cameras to meet specific photographic needs ( a 4x10 for a mural project is an example). My fondness for a particular camera ebbs and flows, currently I use an Arca Swiss, last year it was a Linhof Kardan. However, the bodies may come and go, but I hang on to my lenses, my favorite being an epic Kodak 12" in a #5 shutter.
I must confess that I don't shoot LF as much as I want to, my professional work has gone digital, and I spend most of my time shooting pixels instead of film, but I really hope to change that in the short order.
My current project is bringing an ancient 5x7 Omega E2 back to life, and working on printing out 7x17 inch digital negatives to print palladium.
I hope to visit you all in the threads....
