Hi!
I am yet on the verge of entering the intricate world of LF, and I am looking foreward to it. I have read some of the articles on this site and have just begun to browse some of the threads.
I have very recently purchased a vintage 4x5“ monorail in very good condition with one lens to start. Although I opted for the monorail, I intend to use it mainly in the field (obviously in the vicinity of my car). It has yet to see some action (arrived just yet). It seems very appropriate to me, that the 1960ies Schneider Kreuznach Symmar returns to its city of manufacture
I have come from 35mm film to digital, back to film, recently entered MF (TLR & SLR), getting slower and more purposeful along the way. I am not sure, whether LF and me will bond, but I am thrilled by the prospect of giving it a try. I always found my tilt/shift lenses a bit limiting and have been intrigued by the full movement options of view cameras for a long time, albeit only in theory.
It seems that I am on a „back to the roots“ quest of some kind. Dunno, where it will take me. It will be a huge step away from my previous, rather instantaneous way of viewing & framing. www.galerie-elsner.de (text in German, but text is unimportant).
Sorry for the lengthy „introduction“.
Kind regards
