Hello everyone,
I was wondering if there were any film shooters here. I am a long time digital photographer, but over the past two years or so, have found myself lured into film. First with 35mm, then quickly onto medium format and for the past year or so, large format 4x5.
Its never been cheaper getting into shooting film since so many are selling their gear SO cheap. I bought a Mamiya RB67 Pro S medium format camera with 2 lenses and backs for $150.00. Just a few short years ago the kit would be worth in the thousands. I also have a complete darkroom set up with a 35mm enlarger and a 4x5 professional enlarger (Omega D5xl with color head). The whole darkroom set me back $200.00!
Anyway, I am now heavily into shooting large format film. My D600 rarely makes it on my hikes in the high country now.
