I learned volumes, when I first stumbled onto the Forum Home Page. That's a good place to begin. (See top.)
Have you thought about what kind of a camera you want? View cameras tend to come in two varieties: metal rail cameras, and wood flatbeds.
What format and film appeals to you? Sheet film or roll film; color or black and white? This forum is almost all about sheet film; but, it's possible to do view camera photography with medium format film.
The two most popular sheet film formats are 4x5 and 8x10, though many members engage in Ultra Large Format photography. ULF: these are sheet films that are larger than 8x10.
As an LF Hopeful, there can be quite a lot to ponder.
