Hello Everyone, I've been viewing the site for a while, but finally subscribed. What a great site and fantastic people! :)
I'm fairly new to photography, a cousin got me hooked many years ago when we would shoot Tri-X with a Canon F-1, but the cost of film photography kept me out of the game until the advent of digital cameras made some film cameras afforable.
35mm with Canon AE-1's are my current "focus" , but I've recently grabbed a Holga and a Diana; I love those 6X6 negatives. Large Format is next. I purchased a small volume from Jon Grepstad on building a 4x5 and I'm in the process of constructing both a monorail and a field camera. Already have a copal shutter, a 100 mm lens to start with (along with making a pinhole).
I've been developing my own B&W films and will soon start printing as I've received an old Durst M601 as a gift along with some great trays and other stuff.
