As above really.
But I thought you all might like to see my new camera (well new to me anyway)
Its taken me about 3 weeks of snooping about online camera shops, forae and ebay but I have finally assembled my 5x4 gear.
Wista 45dxIII in cherry & brass, Schneider Symmar-S 135/5.6 (about 45mm ish in 35mm terms)
Somewhere else there are darkslides, loupe and all the associated gubbins and after saturdays running around I'm now in posession of a tank, film, some chemicals and a changing bag.
This morning my hands still smell of fixer lol, mwahahahahahahahaaaaa!
Spent a very happy afternoon/evening learning how to load darkslides, how to do stuff in a dark bag, taking test shots in the garden and remembering how to process film.
No scanner yet so you can't see the results but that will be here next week.
2 small notes.
1) Including the scanner all this has cost me less than a new 24-70mm 2.8 Nikon lens.
2) In my backpack; the camera, 1 lens, loupe, darkslides, film, changing bag, darkcloth, cable release, filters etc weigh less than my d300 and associated kit.
