Hellos from a new member. I love cameras as much as I like photography.
I shoot mostly 35mm and I use a few TLR and folding medium format cameras too.
I am so close to giving in to the large format urges. I look on Ebay and just love the look of the LF cameras.
I would like to start by using the search function to find out what equipment has been recommended to beginners rather than put members through that exercise for the gazillionth time.
I've come close to bidding on a few on Ebay, but I need to find out what film sizes will be easiest to find. I need to learn it all when it comes to LF.
I have plenty of time. I was forced into early retirement with health issues a couple of years ago and I've taken up photography and love every aspect of it.
I've lurked here for a couple of days and can't wait to get my hands on my 1st LF camera.
We are setting up a darkroom and we have a couple of enlargers along with the typical stuff, but I think I'll need something a bit larger than the besseler 23 and cadet we have so far.
I would like to find the "right" LF camera for a beginner soon. I know I'll probably end up "needing" more than one, LOL, as I enjoy shooting landscape and I'm learning portrait with my best friends as my subjects. (I have 6 dogs) that are easily bribed with a snack!
I sincerely appreciate any advice or suggestions of where to start with LF
Take care
My friends have called me zing for over 50 years so I answer to zing or Bill
