Hi,
Born and raised into a digital world I started to discover the photography by reading non-digital books such as "Time Life La Photographie" .
I did my class as a matelot with a Fuji, quickly used few bridges but really started to enjoy the beauty of a still image when I got my first Nikon DLSR.
Learning alongside my dad and helped me a lot to get the vocabulary & the technic. However, nothing will give you the eye-catcher, the right composition, the understanding of the light and its impact without running back and start again with an analogue camera.
Touching with the eyes my dad's Toyo 4x5 View last Christmas in Corsica , learning the difference phase and process, I couldn't resist to try myself and put my small experience all together into practice and burn my 25 films with my 150mm lens
Also because I'm a bit frustrated with the performance of my DSLR about the perspective, chromatic aberration, and sometimes the details.
I really enjoy taking landscape photography and I think the Toyo 4x5 Field will allow me to expand my knowledge and I'm sure will bring other frustration until the 8x10 inch
I've been looking to find the right tripod, light meter, focusing lens. Any advice, direction are more than welcome.
Thanks

- I sow a focusing light here, if still available and recommended why not
- The light meter, I was actually ready to buy a Sekonic 718 but the one I found from Japan didn't have the additional Lumidisc & Lumigrid. Those accessories seem to be very difficult to find separately. I really like the 398 as well. Which one would you recommend 718 if I found a good opportunity or the 398 is enough.
- Tripod, which one would you suggest?
Thanks
