Second shot from 4x5 - it's still dirty and rough (still trying to perfect the clean negative to a clean scan), the first was all scratched and had some anti-halation layer left on it.

Tripod is good, it will hold 45lbs and 30Nm of torque. I don't think you can get the same results with a toy lens and 35mm though - LF has a je ne sais quoi that 35mm cannot touch.

These were shot with a pieced-together 4x5 Field Camera; 35mm, and even a typical medium format can't come close:

If you're serious about shooting film send me an email and we'll talk.

One word: WOW.

I have had a Nikon DSLR for a year now but i have no idea how to shoot something like these. Where do i start?

Any idea where to buy a good but used 70-300 zoon len anywhere?

KEH, but get the 70-200 or 80-200 and get a better long lens later.

What you don't see is the gallon jugs of premixed C-41 and B&W chemistry, enough concentrate to make 12 gallons of B&W Developer and another quart of B&W Fix and Stop Bath. Also there's 120 film in the fridge: 18 rolls of Neopan 100, 19 rolls of Ektachrome 100, 25 rolls of Portra 160 NC.

Let the madness begin, I think I'm set for a while.
