Hi,
I am an amateur photographer, who for the last 3 years has too little time for photography, owing to work commitments. However, when this beaut of a Sinar P2 with lots of extras came up for sale from a professional friend who was retiring; I could not decline his ridiculous offer and took the whole caboodle off his hands. Needless to say, he will receive loaves of bread every time he is in town (he plans to just sail). (I am also an amateur baker after realising shop bought bread usually gave me a stomach ache).
So anyway, I am looking forward to talking to and learning from you ... the last time I used a 4x5 camera was about 40 years ago, so excuse the newbie questions. Currently the toy is in my hobby room (a place of peace and quiet from the nagging of real life) on a tripod. I am sure to be searching the archives for hints, tips and advice on tripods (wood or metal?), heads (pan and tilt or ball?) and what mistake have I now made in loading or developing film.
