Hello there.
As I already wrote in my introductory post, I've met a guy how got me interested in LF photography. I already read some information provided here and now I would like to get started.
This guy told me I should start with a small size like a 4x5 because it is easier to operate. So I found a manufacturer called Intrepid Camera making fancy wooden ones and selling them at a reasonable price. Are these cameras advisable for a LF-beginner like me or should I get a used one online (http://www.cheap.forsale/large-format-camera)?
What else do I need to start besides the LF-camera itself, a lens board, a lens, some 4x5 film and an appropriate film holder? Is it better to use an instant film? And can I use some of my DLSR equipment like my tripod or do I need to buy a special one as well?
Sorry for all these questions but I'm a totally new to that. So any feedback is highly appreciated.
Marcia.
