Default good morning from Luxembourg

registered a few days ago, slowly finding my way through this gorgeous web site. I'm struck by the quality of the photos in the galleries and by the civilized and productive comments and threads. Look forward to be part of it.
Well, about me? only B&W, no digital at all; 35mm Leica MP which so far accounts for 90% of my work, but I increasingly feel the lure of my Mamiya 7 II, and now since three days a Bronica SQ-b so I hope to be much more into 120 format in the future. Am lucky to have a roomy darkroom where I enlarge up to 50x60cm (you call it 20"x24"?). I try to heed the KISS principle (keep it simple stupid) and therefore stick to Ilford: HP5+, FP4, PanF, Delta 100 and 400, ID11 and Perceptol; multigrade RC paper preferably satin surface (must do more with FB paper!). Photos I like: Coburn and Stieglitz among the classics, Michael Kenna and Bernard Plossu among the (very much so) living.
enough for now - I promise to up-load a batch of my photos very soon.
Thanks to administrators - and to all the rest of you
peter

Hello and welcome Peter from another in the Benelux. I look forward to seeing some of your images although the 50x60's might be a bit tricky to scan!

A very good idea me thinks to try out MF. I too have the mamiya 7ii an amazing camera.

It will be nice to know what you're using in your darkroom at some point too but there's plenty of time for that.
