Does anyone here shoot large format photography? I am very interested in getting into it, and was wondering about general information i.e. good names in gear, film holders, types of film, shutters, things like that. Any information would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

It's been 25+ years for me since I used sheet film, so I won't be of much help anymore, but just out of curiosity, is it a specific business need that forces you to go that route, or is it hobby?
Oh its just hobby. I saw one in an antique shop and the shutter looks good, glass is clean, ground glass is smooth and not chipped/broken. Zeis lense and all that nice stuff. I saw what some of those things can do with images online after some research and was blown away. They are incredible! Just thought I might try my hand at that for a bit and see what I can do. Thanks for your time!

Do an online search for it and you will find users who love large format. Every image in Arizona Highways magazine is large or medium format. They have done a very few 35mm submissions and will not accept digital, since the image quality is not the same as large/medium format films.

Dear God, this is one of the dumbest ideas I've ever heard. It's got to rank right up there with CALEA. -Pepper45
