I started my large format journey with a Sinar F 4 x 5 camera back in the 80s. I think I traded my Nikon F3 to get it at one of the big Los Angeles camera shops. This will be a great experience for you and I look forward to see how you progress. Plenty of helpful folks here to jump in as you can see. Get back to me when you're ready to move up to 8 x 20 ULF. I have plenty of helpful tips!
