[LargeFormat] Newbie Here

[rlb]

Thank you Tom for the response.

All I can say is "WOW" about your photo's on you website.   I particularly
enjoyed the FOG and the ROCKS in WATER series.    I have taken some shots of
fog that I am particularly proud of but they were taken with either 35 or
medium formats.

Last year I replaced my enlarger with an Omega D5 and a Aristo variable
contrast head.   I tried to get a 5x7 enlarger to fit in my darkroom but it
wouldn't.  This is the only thing that holds me back from a 5x7.  Perhaps
later.

Again, many thanks.

Bob
