Learning how

Some members of our Photographic Guild were learning how to use a larger format camera, this one being a 5x7 field camera. I understand that this size of film is rather difficult to find.

The niche world of large format film photography has a learning curve which can be steep to some but there are still many who love film.

If I could clean out storage, I would get back into B&W film

I can understand the attraction of film photography and I fought hard against switching to digital about 20 years ago,but now I couldn’t go back. I am too addicted to the fast gratification and economic advantages of the digital system.

Very cool! I really wanted a Hasselblad when I was younger.

Sounds interesting! My husband would appreciate that camera as he built his own dark room 45 years ago. He was into photography and classes then. I bet the film is expensive since it is hard to find. My husband is happy I don't need film as I take soooooooo many photos. I have become the family photographer now. :)
