    Hello!

    Hello! My name is Ben, and I recently started dipping my toes into large format photography. I have a good bit of experience with digital 35mm format and some experience with medium format film, and I'm happy to say that my experience has made my first ventures into large format a bit easier. I'm a bit of a tinkerer and I love taking things apart, so you can imagine my glee at being able to completely disassemble a large format camera into it's component parts and see how everything works.

    I currently own a ToyoView 45CX, as well as a pair of Mamiya C series TLRs and a set of Nikon DSLRs (using a lot of vintage glass of course).

    Just keep your toes out of the developer. It does funny things to your toenails.


    I own a Mamiya 220f, and I used to shoot Nikon DSLR's for Fastpitch softball back when my daughter pitched. I now own a Fujifilm Xt3. Besides large format, many of us shoot various smaller formats as well as digital too. Each have their place.

    Welcome to the forum. We are glad to have you!

    Hey there, I'm Liam. I'm an amateur photographer and a camping lover, so I'm mixing up both hobbies. I'm starting with a cool Nikon D100 I found in my grandma basement.

    Wish me luck!
