Hi Everyone!

My name is Steven and I live in Australia and totally new to LF photography.

I am very interested in panoramic photography, and would like to learn more about

this type of photography. So, I am in the market for a camera.

I have been sorting through various postings in this forum about which camera I should buy.

I have been looking at the Linhof panoramic camera and other brands but they are quite expensive.

So I am leaning towards a Gaoersi camera.

I would appreciate some guidance/ feedback, to whether this is a good choice or not.

Looking forward to making some new friends and posting some photos once I get a

camera and work how to use it.

Cheers
Steven:)

Welcome to the forum Steve,
Lachlan 617 who frequents this forum lives in Melbourne and uses a panoramic and a 4x5 camera. He would probably be willing to give you any advice you need.
Where about in Oz are you?

Hi Mike,

Thanks for your reply. I live in Mt Gambier way down the bottom of South Australia.

I will contact Lachlan and have a chat with him.

Hi Steven,
Another welcome from Melbourne. I dabble in panoramics from time to time, but it has mostly been about the building of the camera rather than the using so I'm not really a good source of advice.
