In common with a number of other film users, I am going to try a 52 using large format.
I inherited a 4x5 about 20 years ago, and needed an incentive to use it, so a 52 seemed like a great chance. I have no idea how accurate the shutter is or how sharp the lens is, so I will be using this 52 as a way of exploring what this camera is capable of and counting how many cock ups I can make per week. I am not intending to shoot to a theme at the moment.
Hopefully I will get better as time goes on and my skill develops and I learn to handle the equipment.
Here is shot 1 f22 for 4 seconds, camera mounted on a chair as I did not have the right sized thread to attach it to a tripod!
