Hello,

Just wanted to create an intro post. Another new guy here.

Just picked up a Kodak 2-D 5x7 about a week ago. Everything looks good, no light leaks. But the lens needs replaced or reworked. Shutter speeds dont work, and the aperature blades stick open in everything but the fastest shutter speed. But bulb mode works just fine with a shutter release cable.
Those lenses are easy enough to open and clean, so that is what I did. Figure I will just use the shutter release cable until I can get a more modern lens. So looking for something around 210mm. I mostly photograph architecture and landscapes. Rarely any portraits.

I will also be trying my hand at developing B&W. Its only been about 24 years since I took a film development course in highschool.


Ill post some of my photos once I get going.


I also use medium format, and (gulp) digital.

Thanks for letting me join. I look forward to learning a lot here
