Hi chaps!

I joined the forum a while ago but hadn't really found time to properly get involved and so I thought I would get onto it. I've just received delivery of my new (to me) Sinar F2, having recently pretty much moved on from digital (although I did buy one of those cute little Panasonic GF1s to replace my Nikon D700). So currently shooting with the Panasonic and my Mamiya RB67 and soon, when I figure it out, the Sinar!

So any other Wellingtonians here? Hoping to find someone local who can show me the ropes!

Cheers!

Welly

Welcome! Please keep us posted on how things are going as you learn to use the F2. I hope to get my hands on a LF camera someday and like to hear about other folks making the transition.

Welcome aboard from another Wellingtonian who you've already been in contact with from another board!

There's a few of us here, though none of us have ever met up to my knowledge.

I'm thinking of setting up a "new LFer" blog writing up a few things as I go along and learn how to use this thing so will update my profile if I get round to it!

Welcome from a fellow Wellingtonian (not quite the right sort of whether this evening for LF, what with 140km/h wind gusts......).

There are a few LF and MF shooters here in the capital.

I was walking between Te Papa and Waitangi Park before. I've never been so close to being blown over in my life.
