The whole country went digital like a pack of lemmings a decade ago, I'm probably one of a handful of people who still shoot film around here.
Been shooting MF for about 20 years, first with a Bronica SQ system (after testing it and a Hassy during a weekend on identical shots with the same film, developed at the same lab), which I later sold and went to Rolleiflex (both a System 6000 setup and a TLR).
I've been curious about LF for some time, but never gotten to the point of actually trying it. Rod Klunkas was kind enough to drop by Los Angeles (my part-time home) recently and spend a day with me shooting an Arca Swiss f-line 4x5 camera. Talk about G.A.S..., what an amazing camera!
So now I'm researching, trying to figure out firstly what I want to do with my photography (I'm an amateur, it's a hobby, but I hope to do something more with it), and secondly if LF fits with my vision (once I find it, lol), and if an Arca or perhaps some other camera would fit best with what I'd like to do.
Looking forward to learning what I can from all the experience gathered here.
