Out of curiosity I wondered which formats were most popular amongst forum users?

Hi Paul

I've ticked the 5x4 box but also dabble in wholeplate.

There has to be one, doesn't there? Try ticking the invisible box between 5x7 and 8x10

Hehe. I'm the only ULF'ian here (at the moment). Although I am currently procrastinating about passing it on. Anyone interested in 7x17?

There's no option for 9x12cm

I have 5 9x12 cameras and they are all significantly more portable than a 5x4 (12.7x10) with only a marginally smaller negative size and with a roll-film back I have a great pocket sized Large Format camera. (Talking pre International backs which are the same size for 9x12 & 5x4)

Hows about 2x5" panoramic (i.e. 2 shots on a 4x5" sheet)?

Okay, okay you b*****s

For all of you weirdos using 9x12, 13x18,half-plate, full-plate, dinner plate etc just tick the (available) box that applies to you!!

I dunno ... some people

See Paul 14% of us shoot 9x12

I have Whole plate, Half plate & Quarter plate but don't use them

Ian

I still shoot 3 1/4 x 4 1/4" Polaroid 665 on my 600SE ... pity there's isn't a wooden spoon smiley

Nah, I think we should be celebrating the diversity of our membership as they indeed come in many sizes!

OTOH, neither wonder Ilford only run their less usual sizes once a year.

Er.... 6x12? 6x9?

Er, I do, Charles… I voted 5x7 but I found myself unable to tick a box for 6x9! BTW it seems that unlike on most similar fora it's possible to vote on more than one occasion. Therefore the results may mean even less than they might otherwise!

It would seem that you can hit the "Submit" button more than once but it doesn't affect the vote count But you can change what you voted for and the running totals will be updated; so if you sell a format, you can update your vote

I also use 6x7, in the RZ for those times when 4x5 might get blown over and in the 7II because that is my snappy camera; but I would hardly call them LF

Nor would I Joanna, but may I be given leave to suggest to the "purists" amongst us that the use of roll film on the 5x4 view camera, applying movements and using the same lenses as for 5x4, does blur the interface a bit! This poll does have a 6x17 option, and that's not 100 square centimetres either…
