Good Afternoon Everyone,
Just signed up here, and since there's a forum dedicated to this, I thought I had better introduce myself.
My name is Chris, and I'm a 26 year old from Denver, CO. I've been interested in photography essentially my whole life. My first "real" camera (ignoring a Point and Shoot Kodak) was a Mamiya/Sekor 500DTL and some M42 primes when I was about 10. I later switched to Canon FD, and stayed with that until about 3 years ago. I moved up to EOS Digital, shooting with a D60. I switched to Pentax Digital about 4 months ago, and now use that as my main system.
Along the way, I've played around in Medium Format a little bit (mostly with a Mamiya C330 system), and Large Format briefly (Crown Graphic). While I absolutely love the images that came from the 4x5, I never really got into too much. Now I'm looking at getting into LF with something that has a lot more in the way of movements. I'm thinking that I'll probably be going with a Sinar F1 here in the near future. I have a couple remnants of my Canon EOS stuff that I'll be selling to fund part of the purchase, so I'll let you all know what I get when that happens.
So far, while browsing the fora, I've noticed that this is a great place to hang out, and learn A LOT. I'm really looking forward to my stay. Thanks for having me!
