First 4x5 photo experience. . .





Well, its probably not the best time to get acquainted with your camera at a wedding. . . but thats what I did.

The bellows have a light leak, the lens is . . . soft and has strange color chroma when wide open. I didn't have a light meter, so I relied on using a p&S camera and matching the Exposure value to my needs.

Missed some focus (not sure if the camera stays where i put it) . . . in fact as you see from the photo i've cropped out the tops of their heads . . . This occurred when putting in my film holder. Either way it worked, and I like the control of the format, and can't wait to get out and shoot some more.



I have since purchased a meter, more holders and 400tx film.
