Hi all,

I'm John from Sydney, Australia and have just purchased my first LF kit, a Stenopeika 4x5 X camera and 150mm Schneider f5.6 lens. I've had a bit of experience with 35mm and medium format (Holga) developing b&w film. I'm also into Alt procesess such as VDB, cyanotype, gum dichromate etc. I see my upcoming 4x5 journey as whole new experience and am looking forward to learning a lot.

Anyone else on the forum from Australia??

Cheers
John
 
Welcome.
LF is particularly suitable for Australians, but it's a very old joke.
 
Welcome to the forum John. Was it your interest in alt processes that moved you to large format?

Have fun, we nearly all have relatives down under. I have a cousin there. a niece born there, my Turkish wife has cousins who lived or were born there.

Welcome, John! I'm sure you'll enjoy the LF experience, but don't forget you can generate digital negs from your smaller format work and print using alt processes.
