Hi, all.
I found this forum during my research into LF. I have so much to learn. I used to shoot 35mm back in the late 70s early 80s, then fell out of it til I got back into photography with digital. My digital kit is Nikon, and is good quality stuff, but I have been getting increasingly frustrated with its’ (or my) limitations, which came to a head about a month ago when I went up to Skagit County to shoot the tulip fields, and just couldn’t get the shots I envisioned.
Thus began my search and research into LF. Which way to go? View? Wood field? Technical? This morning I ordered up a Linhof Technika V from one of the better NYC camera stores, and now will be waiting for its arrival like an eight year old waiting for Xmas. I got this camera for less than the cost of a perspective control lens for my Nikon, but of course, the camera isn’t coming with a lens, Polaroid back, shutter release, etc, etc.
My screen name reflects my understanding of my almost total (current) ignorance of this format. I thank you all in advance for your patience with what I am sure will numerous basic questions.
I look forward to the journey….
