Greetings

Postby hoffy » 19 Nov 2012, 12:29

Howdy all,

My name is Ashley, but I am commonly known as Hoffy on many forums around the traps. I'm from the Southern Suburbs of Adelaide.

I was directed to this forum this morning and thought I would drop on in and say hi.

I am very new to Large Format photography - actually, I am still trying to work out if its what I want to do. Currently I do shoot/process and print 35mm and 120 (I own a host of minolta 35mm camera's, a Koni-Omega 6x7 and Bronica SQAi 6x6). At the moment, I am thinking 'Crown/Speed/Super Graphic', but I'll see.

Cheers and Hi!

Welome Hoffy! I'm in a very similar position. I've recently started developing my own B&W 35mm and 120 film, and am dangerously close to considering a 4x5 field camera. Dangerously.

Thanks for the welcome.

While I can see that this is a relatively small place compared to the normal haunts, I can see its benefit! This sounds like a good idea where us Aussies can chat without having to deal with 'Home Depot', 'Walmart' and (my personal favourite) CONUS ONLY!

Looking forward to talking with you guys more.

Cheers

I might as well jump in here; Like hoffy, I'm another new member to the forum based in Adelaide.

I shoot mainly MF (6x7) and develop & print B&W at home. I was tempted to set up to do C41 & E6 myself, but I decided that with the small amount of colour that I shoot that I'm better off outsourcing that part of the equation. As to LF, I'm using a Crown Graphic and a Sinar F2. I feel like I've still got a huge amount to learn with LF!
