[MultiFormat Shooter]

Just wanted to say "Hello." I tried posting in the large format forum, but it won't let me. Anyway, I used 35mm, medium format and large format film exclusively (no digital).

'Hope you have fun & hope to see some of your stuff soon.

Thanks!

Thanks for the welcome, all! I have already learned quite a bit.

What medium format gear were you using?

I use 500cm w/ 50/80/150 lens, and recently loving the shots from a 1936 Super Ikonta. Sometime later this wk, I'll get images from a little Retina IIIc.
I hope to continue appreciating other people using LFs That doesn't mean lack of respect or interest, just have my hands full enough now. It will prob. be an area I pay attention to, learn from, but don't dive into.

I am relatively new to participating in APUG. For a few years i have been coming here to get answers to problems or learning how i should do one thing or another. The gallery started really captivating my interest as i tried to understand better the photographs i take. I am LF, 4x5 has been my history but took to 8x10 for a variety of reasons of converging circumstances including i still did not have a darkroom to set up an enlarger in. But i would rather use my 4x5. The 8x10 is absolutely beautiful, but big, heavy, inconvenient, expensive cost of consumables, and somewhat less flexible to use than my 4x5. Recently, i bought a Chamonix 4x5 camera, for the specific first purpose of taking to White Sands National Monument. I want so much to make a photograph in that place that is worthy of printing and hanging on a wall in my home. The business trip i planned to fall in on to get to White Sands was cancelled and i haven't had another opportunity. But i absolutely love using the Chamonix. i am envious of HiHo's MF capability. I have wanted to get into MF for the longest time, but won't because, like he says, the $$ limitations of branching out formats is just too much. I had to choose, and sheet film won out for no other reason but my investment in LF. I may become like Ansel Adams or Brett Weston and just get tired or too old to carry the LF around, and then switch. Until i have a proper darkroom, roll film is not in my near future. But boy would l love to have an Ikonta that takes 6x9! You have signed onto an inestimably valuable resource here at apug. Make the very best of your time here.
