Hi there
Getting into MF with a Minolta Autocord and only just starting LF with a Crown Graphic 4x5. Good to find a site that answers a lot of questions and has such great participation. Sooooo much to learn

Hey Alan, ever come to the Ottawa area? I own a gallery in Pakenham and think it would be fun to meet

There are lots of GTA people to network with here.

Glad you have found this site.

My MF shooting began with an old rolie in high school, but I did not know it was such a gem at the time.
Since then I have gone though a few different low frills TLR's.

Then the LF bug hit, and I too have a Crown to play with.

So we have a few camera experiences in common already.

Happy times exploring this site.

There are all sorts of knowledgeable people who willingly pass on information in this forum.

Hello Alan and a warm welcome to APUG. The Autocord is a great camera, I hope you enjoy it.

Welcome to APUG Alan, from a former Torontonian (was I ever one of those?) The Autocord was my first MF camera as well, and I've now got three of them. Although I've moved onto a Bronica, those Minoltas remain my true loves. ;-)

Welcome. Here is another Torontonian who loves film. I started with Minolta 35mm and just got into MF recently.

By the way, does anyone know if there is a film user group in Toronto?

Hi Alan, welcome to APUG. The Minolta Autocord was my first good camera after starting with box cameras. Lots of fun to shoot with.

Wow, thanks for all the welcoming words. I must say shooting LF is becoming quite the voyage. SO much to learn. I've just shot my first batch of 6 and boy do I need to step back a bit
