I'm manet and I live in France.
I 'm in retirement since a few month and having more time, I coming back to argentic photo in parallel with the numérique.
I work with a 6x6 TLR and a 18x24 LF. I have a darkroom arranged by myself recently.
I have discovered largeformatphotography on the being web searching LF informations and I am sure I will learn a lot from you all.
Sorry for my bad English.

Cheers

Salut Manet. As-tu entendu du site Galerie Photo (http://www.galerie-photo.info/forumgp/) et ses forums ? Là, on peut trouver des "chambrists", des "argentists" mais, surtout, des bons amis. Et tu parles l'anglais meilleur que je parle le français ;)

Welcome.

Your bad English is superior to anything I could attempt in French.

Fortunately we all speak photography. Look forward to your future posts.

Welcome to the large format transatlantic club.
Do not be surprised when Joanna says 5x4, here they say 4x5. the difference is subtle but extremely important.

Et bienvenue au club transatlanique grand fomat ;)
