A couple weeks ago I took the plunge into LF photography. I've been shooting film since my high school photo class days in the late 90s. More recently I got into medium format when I purchased a Rolleiflex last year and have been having a lot of fun with that. My uncle is a photographer and shot LF professionally and as a fine artist for years, and so I always was curious to try LF myself. So a couple weeks ago I bought a 4x5 Wisner Expedition at B&H. The Expedition model is the same as their technical field model but is made of lighter weight material and weighs a couple pounds less. I haven't shot with it yet, as I'm still acquiring all the various lenses and gear that I will need. Later this month I will be at a family reunion with my uncle who is going to bring his Deardorff and give me some LF lessons. Here are some pics of the Wisner, including one taken next to a 5x7/4x5 Deardorff at B&H for comparison.
This is a 180mm lens that I'm going to return. I'm going to get a 150mm. I also picked up a 105mm for wide angle.
