Hey all,
My name is Ken Johnson and I’m new to the forum and LF.
My story.
I’ve always been interested in photography, my grandfather and my parents being both avid photographers. I grew up having many digital cameras over the years.
So, I’ve been on a journey looking for the highest quality cameras for some time. Last year, I was reading the famous Ken Rockwell website in which he wrote about 4x5, that got me hooked on the idea.
I decided to pursue film for its quality.
Last year as well, I was gifted on my birthday with a complete LF camera package and gear and film.
My entry into 4x5.
The camera is a Toyo 45ax
I’ve what looks like a good set of lenses, Sinar 90mm/4.5, Schneider 150mm/5.6, & a Fuji 250mm/6.3
Its been a joy practicing and shooting. I discovered a local photography shop (Apertures Photo) in many ways support LF, making life more easy.
I want to get into shooting astrophotography and eventually (weather permitting) lightning bolts.
Both I’ve had success with digital but 4x5 seems more tricky.
Trying to shoot a day a week at least.
This forum seems loaded with invaluable knowledge saved over the years from those who practiced the art for decades. I thank you.
Ken Johnson
