Post your first (LF) shot

[Denis Pleic]

The usual Speed Graphic & Ektar 127/4.7 combo. Film was Efke PL100, souped in Rodinal 1+50.

My first LF shot, first use of sheet film. I still remember the excitement - it wasn't that long ago

Chris that is way too good for a first shot.

Thanks!Yeah it really was.I had done tons of reading, hanging out here, etc. before buying my kit from Jeff at Badger.I still have 2 boxes of type 55 in the fridge, but am reluctant to shoot it.Been waiting for that 'perfect' subject you know

Here's mine (Fuji 240mm A @ f16 on Velvia 100F ).

I'm pretty sure this was my first shot, I set it up and took a shot of our building at work:

I forget the lens, but the camera was my Uncle's Wista 4x5, probably 200mm?

First image was with a rented 4x5 camera on polaroid film:


After buying the 11x14 camera some weeks later, I reshot the same fountain. While this wasn't my first 11x14 shot, it was within the first 10 photos. Printed it reversed as a personal preference:

Went out in the fog last week to test out the 4x5. Looks like I missed a bit on the image circle and some light leak on the left side. Also the right edge is getting soft, might have to lens shop in the future. Used a Nagaoka field camera and a 13.5cm Zeiss Tessar, Fujifilm Pro160 and Kodak 320TXP. I've got a ways to go yet. Constructive critique is welcome.

Cheers, Dave
