Good shots.
I almost came to terms with 4x5.

Nice work right from the start. Keep it up and please post more as you see fit.

Nice photos. It's great to look at those 4x5 negatives, isn't it?

Hmmm ... maybe it's time for some 4x5. I bought 50 sheets of Efke from Freestyle just before they pulled the pin on that film.

Keep going! I encourage everyone to shoot 4x5, mainly because I need to ensure constant demand for the film!

I shot with my 4x5 last week...but I used a 6x7 back with it...I didn't know that there were three film holders loaded with Tri-X in my bag...I thought they were empty...
When I got home I loaded the remaining holders with some HP5 Plus...
The roll of 120 is developed and still hanging...

Wondering away again. ...

I didn't know they not stocking Efke any longer. All my 9x12 sheet film I have in the freezer is from them.

One thing to do before re-loading the holders is check the felt and inside for any dust and/or dirt every so often.

Looks like u are having fun w/ your 4x5 buy that came w/ those lenses.

My Crown Graphic was suffering from light leaks that I could not pin down. A buddy of mine said he had the same problem and after seeing my film said it was the felt seals of the dark slide in the holders. I checked a few under some heavy lighting and sure enough, that was it.

Got new holders yesterday and shot some today to check it out. All looks good!!!
