Smile Greetings from Lisbon, Portugal...

Hello everybody
just discovered this darkroom user group...

After many years in the 35mm world of family snapshots, and a few more in the same digital direction, i have moved back into analogue fine art b&w photography using medium and large format cameras...

Im still learning and trying all i can... reading tons of books, experimenting on old traditional ways, alternative processes... and so on... and its a magical world...

I have built my own home darkroom, with a 4x5 LPL enlarger...
And right now im looking for an 8x10 camera, those big negatives are my dream to contact print...

So im hoping to get some help on my thousand questions here!...

Raul

Hello Raul and welcome to FADU. I am sure you will enjoy your return to the dark side and to creating images by traditional means. There are lots of folks here that use LF cameras so just ask away if need any advice.

Neil.

Hello Raul and welcome to FADU.

Like you I longed to do 8x10 contact prints and finally took the plunge in 2008. My only regret is I didn't do it sooner.

There are quite a few LF users on this forum so help is at hand should you need it.

Welcome aboard Raul. It sounds like your interests are increasing as your negative size increases " I've drawn a line under (over?) 5x4" - I'm not going any larger than that!

Have fun, Bob.
