Hi there everybody,
I just wanted to drop a quick line to introduce myself and ask a (probably very stupid) question.
My name is Ramon, I was born in Venezuela but was raised and live in Spain. I started in photography 4 years ago, and I've done things "the other way around": Started with digital to then switch to film . I initially purchased a digi Canon 5D in 2006, then bought a Canon A1 (film) with which I learn the "craft" and fell in love with film and then I set up a small lab at home and bought beautiful Hasselblad 503CW... I'm very happy with the Hassy and get excellent results with it, but have always had LF in mind. A few weeks ago I decided it was about time to "become a man" and, following the advice of a friend, I ordered a (second hand) Linof Master Technika (please tell me I made the right decission!!! ).
Now, here is the stupid question: I'm reaally excited about it, but a few of acquintances are trying to convince me that film, and especially 4x5 sheets, is something to extinguish and won't be around for much longer. That sounds crazy to me, but I don't now much about this world and obviously don't want to spend a fortune on a large LF set, to soon find out that film is no longer available......Should I just not pay attention to those stupid comments..... or is it something that could really happen?
Thanks for your answers and see you around!!
Ps: Excuse my rusty English, haven't used it in a while.....
