Hi from Sydney Australia

Post by David Woods » Fri Jul 02, 2010 11:38 pm Etc/GMT-1+01:00

Hi
I have been doing photography for 10 years, the wife and I got sick of taking bad shots, so one Christmas we decided to buy ourselves, a decent SLR and from there the interest grew, I have now started to shoot 4x5 and 5x7 with a Toyoview Deluxe, I am hoping by the end of the day, I will be the owner of a Durst 138 enlarger.

Regards
David

Welcome Sydneysider David to this friendly forum

5x7 - excellent - one of my preferred formats - let us know what lenses you have..................and also your favourite(s) for the two formats?

David, I've since seen a shot of your Toyo over on the LFPF - looks a fairly rugged and useful beast

Hi Andrew

I paid hardly anything for it, I am still learning the large stuff, I still only have 1 lens, a 300mm Semmar, Since I picked up some 5x7 holders, I have hardly used the 4x5 since.
