New purchase Peter?

Very nice Peter. Toyo's are a very good workhorse and I'm sure you're going to have a great time with it. What lenses do you have / plan to use? I use a Cambo Legend in Germany. I also have an Ebony field camera and have just picked up a S/H Sinar P2. When it comes back from having its standards serviced I'll pop a picture of it up. I guess you'll be shooting film. Roll film or 5"x4"?

As per my kids' experience, I'll be starting on digital and then moving to film at some point in the future.

I mainly want to experiment with pack shots, so imagine an enlarging lens would do the trick?

 

[Pete Askew]

I see. What sort of back will you use? Or are you going to use a dSLR adapter. If not you'll need something with a shutter of course. One of the reasons I bought a P2 was that it came with a Sinar shutter (Copal) that sits just behind the lens board and so you can use shutter-less lenses with it. I have an Aero Ektar I'm keen to try with it. I have adapters to use PhaseOne backs on 5x4 but I shall probably use film otherwise I'll lose all the nice edge distortion etc from the Ektar. I'm on the lookout for a Linfof / Ebony to Sinar adapter plate so I can use some of the lenses from the Ebony on it without having to un-mount them although I have 3 in Sinar plates already (one with a shutter).

What sort of pack shots do you have planned?

Two Petes, two new LF cameras!
Looking forward to seeing the results from all this kit I have to say!!
