Hello, All!
I just purchased my first 4x5 LF camera, a Toyo 45C and am pretty excited about getting started. My current photographic equipment is all digital (Nikon D70 based), so I am probably moving in the exact opposite direction of most who are giving up their traditional equipment in favor of new technology.
However, since I am absolutely new to LF gear, I would appreciate some advice about lenses. I did read the great and helpful hints and articles on this site, but am still a little bit unsure about what actual equipment to get.
I have a few preferences and constraints that might narrow down the field of available options.
A) I am willing to buy used, but would not like to spend much more than ~$600
B) The primary target is going to be landscapes and architectural scenes
C) Mostly B&W, some color
D) I would like to take full advantage of the tilt/shift movements that LF allows for
E) Ability to make large prints with excellent sharpness/ less grain
All help is greatly appreciated!
Best,
