Smile Hello from FOMA's city ;)

Hello dear friends of real photography. My name is Jirka and I live in Hradec Kralove, sunny home of dark Foma factory. I’m keen 35mm and MF film user from my childhood but since I’ve met a group of foolish fellows obsessed with classical photography here in Czech Republic I’m slowly starting to discover amazing world of LF. As for the gear I’m slightly addictive to all this old German stuff using beautiful ICA and Zeiss toys of our grandfathers. Well, that’s all for now…. Nice to be here.
Good light for everybody!

Welcome Jirka, I've just come out of my darkroom where I was printing on Fomatone paper.

Hi Jirka and welcome to FADU. You will be in good company here as we have a lot of LF users. Maybe you can join one of our get-togethers in the U.K. one day. Come by lorry and bring about 500 kilogrammes of Foma paper and film.

Mike

Funny you mentioned that Mike, this nearly did happen for the January FADU get-togehter in Dartmoor earlier this year...

I did try to convince Jirka and couple of others of my fellow classic photography colleagues from Czech Republic to come over for the weekend.
