hello largeformatters.
I've been lurking here for quite some time as I've been piecing together my kit over the past year or more. Reading mostly about equipment, not technique just yet.
anyhow, I'm a digital artist, working in visual effects, with a background in the sciences/math---photography was my lead into the technical arts. I've shot 35mm for over ten years, since high school, and have shot a bit of medium format and recently sub 35mm dslr. I wanted to get into large format mostly for the technical aspects (focus plane adjustment, perspective control), as well as large negs. Oh, and to look cool with a big camera at national parks. =D
so I got myself a sinar p2 4x5 (the little friend in question. Don't worry, I'm young, but it probably won't go more than 100 feet from my car), with a sa 90/5.6, sinaron 150/5.6, sinaron 300/5.6, all in db mounts, and the assorted stuff needed to make it work. I'm still on the hunt for a few more items, but I should be ready to take this setup with me on a road trip through the american southwest soon.
anyway, thought I'd introduce myself before posting a few wanted ads, but otherwise I'm usually content to peruse old threads---well, at least until I start taking actual images. haha.
be seeing you!
