Hello from NW Ohio

[Mgagle]

Hello everyone. I hail from the NW Ohio/ Toledo area, and am just getting into LF photography. I've begun my journey thanks to Mat Marrish of FPP, who has infected me with LF fever. I'm currently searching for a 4x5 monorail cam, and trying to do so on a relative budget. (Hahaha) so, I'm excited to be here, and am excited to learn as much as I can. I am currently shooting with a variety of cameras, ranging from a Nikon V1, to a Canonet ql17, and up to a Mamiya Rb67. There's a few SLRs and a variety of instant and pack film cams sprinkled within.

So, that's a little about me!

Hi Matt! Welcome the the forums. There's a wealth of knowledge here. How is your camera hunt coming?

I've still not found anything. I want to shoot 4x5, but wouldn't mind having an 8x10 with reducing back. Preference is a field cam, but budget may dictate monorail. Trying to keep it under $500 :/

Hey Matt,
I'm just over the border from you in Temperance.... if you need some one-on-one advice, give me a jingle.
