I am currently using medium Format but would like to step up to 4x5 and was wondering if there were any 4x5 users around the Doncaster South Yorkshire area who would be prepared to offer some one to one advise.

Hi Ian,
I'm not in that area, but I have just 'moved up' to 4x5 from medium format (although I will still be shooting 6x6 and 6x7).
If you require good advice, and/or direction, I can assure you that you will definitely find it here, as I have.
You should start some threads and ask questions. Then, after you have a few posts to your credit , you can communicate one-to-one with other members by 'personal message' if that suits you better.
It's probably better to share your 'predicaments' openly though, as many of us can also learn from your journey too.


Good Luck :)

There's a few 5x4" users in Sheffield,myself included, if you don't find anyone in Donny.

Hello Dave and thanks for the comment.

I am currently using the Mamiya 645 Pro and Pentax 645N for my film work. I operate the hybrid route (scan) and don't use a darkroom.

Large Format 4x5 does appeal to me although I have to admit that I have never actually used a large format camera.

I am currently contemplating the Chamonix 045N-2 mainly for its size and weight.

Sounds a similar approach to me, I have a Chamonix and used to shoot a Mamiya 645.

If you fancy a jaunt over my neck of the woods (west side of town/Peak district) of an evening you're more than welcome, try and take some photos in this glorious British summer weather we're having at the moment.

Cheers Dave, how far west of the city centre are you or whats the nearest village/town
