Thanks for the nice compliment, but just because I have good taste in equipment, doesn't mean I know how to use it

I just missed a 545i on the Big Auction Site yesterday. Damn work got in the way...

Hello Village, and welcome from the other side of the water. I've also been on this forum for only a few weeks, but I've found it to be a friendly and helpful place.

Congratulations on the jumping right in with the wonderful new camera. You will have a great time learning to use it.

Welcome from Olalla VI. It is nice to see so many Western WA village people here.

VI,

Welcome to LF in Seattle. Get to know the guys at Rainier Photo in Burien. The Seattle Public Library has a pretty good selection of LF books to peruse. Let us locals know if you need something.

Doug, I was down at Rainier/Dicks last Friday for their "garage sale" and didn't see much in the way of LF anywhere. Do you need the secret password? I also asked about a Bogen-Manfrotto 410, as they had 20% off on B/M heads, and was told they hadn't had that model in the store since 2000??

Yeah, the Seattle library is great. I have a stack of LF books on my desk right now from there, which probably wasn't the smartest thing, as I will never get through them all before they are due back.

Thanks for the welcome(s)!

Glazer's carries LF equipment, new and used. They also rent equipment. If you haven't been there, stop by and look around. The staff is very helpful. If the person you are talking to cannot answer your question, they will take you to someone who can.
