Great deal. I haven't found a deal like that yet.

Is it unreasonable to enlarge a "good" 4x5 pinhole image to 18 x 18 for printing?

Yes. I contacted the photographer. He confirmed that those images were processed in Photoshop to clean them up.

Yes. I've noticed some very high quality images from some users of pinholes.

That Harmon 4x5 pinhole is not inexpensive, but it seems very effective.

I know pinhole cameras are the most basic things, but I've seen a large variety in results.

Some photos are quite sharp compared to the typical lomo results I see most often.

Are there threads...

Thanks to this thread I've learned a lot about large format considerations. You Tube has helped a lot too with understanding the various movements and why to use them.

I've definitely narrowed...

I attended a fabulous presentation this evening via Zoom.

Jeffrey Stockbridge

He uses 4x5 view cameras and has a gallery in Philadelphia. I thought the group might be interested.

I know. I continue to pick out hobbies that cost lots of money.

I have found 100 sheets of FP4 for $180 and free shipping today.

I prefer to buy a package deal with camera and all accessories together, but I'm finding cameras listed with no lenses.

How can I be sure lenses will match up with the individual camera if buying...

Did any of the Omegas or Calumets have the geared movements?

How are the Omega 45's? Are there Omega field cameras?
How portable are the monorails?

I've been looking at lots of sample images, looking at lots of blogs and YouTube tutorials. I think I'm definitely setting my sights on a field camera and the 150mm focal point appears to be...

Natalie Oberg is my more recent inspiration. She purchased her first 4x5 and first film camera fairly recently, a 50 year old ex-Chicago Police camera.

Thanks Bernice.

I have always admired from a far when it comes to large black and white prints. I've always had the internal dialogue with myself telling me I could never do that because...(its...

I think I need to learn how to develop film first and foremost at this point. That seems to be the common advice running through all of the recommendations. I am not going to overspend my budget on a...

I've already learned a lot in a short few days. This forum is a wealth of information.

I'm seeing quite a few Toyo field cameras listed on eBay today as well.

Calumet or Intrepid seem like suitable candidates that are in my price range. I had originally planned on a press type camera. I want to resist buying something and immediately wishing I'd bought...

I am interested in 4 x 5 photography.

What recommendations do you have for ways to learn, get started, spend less than $750 to get started?

I need to learn what I don't know but I don't want...
