Hi,
I live near the "other" Vancouver, just over the Columbia River from Portland, Oregon. I shoot these film cameras:

• Various K-mount and M42 mount 35mm SLRs
• Yashica Lynx 1000 and Lynx 5000 rangefinders
• Chamonix 4x5 view camera (very recent)

And these films:

• KodakT-Max 100
• Rollei Retro 100 (aka Agfa APX 100)
• Rollei Retro 80s
• Fuji Acros 100
• Kodak Ektar 100
• Kodak Kodachrome 64 (almost gone...)

Processed using:

• Rollei 6x7 CXL Enlarger (aka LPL/Saunders/Omega) mounted with Schneider Componon-S 50/2.8 and Rodenstock Rodagon 80/4 for traditional printing
• Nikon Super Coolscan 5000 ED for 35mm figital processing)
• Epson V700 scanner for 120 and 4x5 figital processing

I shoot primarily:

• Landscape

Steve - hello and welcome to APUG from western Massachusetts.

 

[Joe Lipka]

I used to live in the "other Vancouver," but that was a very long time ago. You might want to look up the Portland Photographers Forum and see what programs they have going on.

Ha! Ha! I know my way around a 35mm pretty well, but the 4x5 LF is another matter. Took me about 20 minutes to do a shot in the field today. I have yet to get setup figured out so that I am not tripping over the gear.

Thanks for the referral to the Portland Photographers Forum. I am not familiar with that group and will look them up.

Welcome, from near the main? Vancouver.

I've always wanted to visit your Vancouver.

I used to live in the "Vancouver to the North" a few decades ago (Richmond and the UBC Endowment Lands). It is a wonderful, vibrant, and beautiful city. My Vancouver is a little less inspiring, but has its good points. It is handy to Portland, the Columbia River Gorge, a major wildlife refuge, historic Ft. Vancouver (flies the HBC flag ), numerous rivers, a couple of volcanoes, and numerous other places with high photographic potential.
