I recently purchased a Fotoman 612 from a member here, and must say wow! What a cool camera!
This camera is so robust! I cannot believe how much fun it is to shoot this size. The lens included is the Schneider 58XL - I think this the perfect all around pano lens, no center filter needed, but the build quality is what really stands out. Regardless what some may say here, film is an outstanding way to express one's artistic expression. Photographer Brian Kosoff uses the Fotoman with great success and it was his photography that initially piqued my interest in panorama's. Film sales and processing in NYC are quite good with the popularity of Holgas. Although, I do my own processing, as this is half the fun, soon I would like to print my own keepers too. Can anyone share experiences with B/W enlargers and the best lenses for those. I probably would only print up to 16x20 max., but any feedback on equipment would be much appreciated.
Thanks
