4"x5" Large Format camera

Postby Hlop on Fri Jun 09, 2006 10:20 am

Hi,

I'm looking for someone who can lend me LF camera for a couple or more days. I've got two boxes of Ilford Delta 100 sheet film and would like to try large format. Sure, 2 boxes of sheets aren't worth to buy LF camera just for playing :) I could share some of these sheets with camera owner.

I'm not a big fun of pinhole cameras.

As for a rent ... If I'd do this shooting for business, I'd easily spend 70-80 bucks for over-weekend hire. But just for playing with it ....

My thought were to find someone with LF camera sitting on the shelf, collecting dust, doing nothing ... I've got such a friend but he is in Russia. Bit far away for a photo session :)
