How many formats do you shoot?

[Tom Kershaw]

Currently, I shoot probably 90% 6x6.

 

[coriana6jp]

In descending order of use 4x5. 6x9, 645, & 6x6. The 6x9 is a roll film holder for the 4x5, actually use it quite a bit.

6X6, 6X7, 35mm, 4X5, 6X9 in order, most frequent first.

all for fun

[brimc76]

4x5, 6x4.5, 35, 6x9 in order of use for me - although not too much 6x9.

 

[jovo]

Whatever size negs I can fit in my enlargers, hence 35 (rarely), 6x6, 6x7 and 4x5.

 

[SuzanneR]

I stick largely with 3 formats... 35mm, 6x4.5, and 6x7. I would say the 6x7 gets the most use, and the 6x4.5 is fairly new to me. It'll probably become the workhorse for client work. I love the 6x7 when I'm making photographs just for me! The 35mm gets the least amount of attention at this point.

 

[Lee Shively]

Three: 35mm, 645, 6x6.

 

[colrehogan]

I was including antique formats. Part of the impetus behind the question was realizing that I had recently used 110, 126, and 127, in addition to more normal sizes.

I see. In that case, I shoot 8x10, 5x12, 4x5, 6x6, 6x7, 6x9, 35 mm, Polaroid Zip and have the following antique sizes: 122, 127, 620, 116 (not sure about the last one).

 

[Travis Nunn]

35mm, 6x4.5 and 6x7.

 

[BruceN]

35mm, 6x6, 4x5, 5x7, 6 1/2 x 8 1/2, 8x10, 7x11, 11x14, 7x17, 14x17, 30.06

Now that's funny right there, I don't care who you are.

 

[Sportera]

Mostly 4x5, some 35mm and 6x6.

 

[Jerry Basierbe]

Mostly 6x6 then 35mm. 4x5 and 6x7 after that.

 

[jimgalli]

The gamut minus 3 1/4X4 1/4, and no 10X12 currently.

35mm 6X6 6X7 6X9 4X5 5X7 6.5X8.5 8X10 7X11 7X17 11X14 8X20 12X20 6 CIRKUT 10 CIRKUT.

I've shot all of these recently with 6X7, 6X9, 5X7, 8X20 and the 2 Cirkuts lagging the most.

 

[erikg]

Well, Jim Galli, that is pretty amazing, but not too suprising....

my list: 35mm half frame, 35mm full frame, 6x6, 6x7, 6x9, 4x5, 8x10

 

[Ole]

Thank you, Jim Galli.

Good to see that I'm not the worst one.

 

[BrianShaw]

Four: 35mm, 6x6, 6x7, 4x5

 

[battra92]

135, 6x6, 6x9, 645 mostly. Occasionally I'll shoot 110 or 4x4 for fun. Sometimes I *cough* shoot digital *cough* but not very often anymore.

 

[Jim Chinn]

I shoot 35mm, 6x6, 4x5, 8x10, 11x14 at the moment, with 6x6 and 8x10 the current "sweet spots". Since getting my Bronica SQa the 35mm has been collecting dust. For the size of prints I make, if I could find a decent priced SL66 or the fuji MF with bellows I would sell off my 4x5 gear and shoot exclusively MF for enalrgements and 8x10 and larger for contact prints.

 

[Jeremy]

35mm, 6x6, 3x4, 4x5, 5x7, 8x10

 

[RalphLambrecht]

I'm impressed. I couldn't even name 11 film formats!

 

[Tom Hoskinson]

Currently, I shoot 35mm, 4x4, 4.5x6, 6x6, 6x7, 6x9, 6x12, 6x17, 2.25 x 3.25, 3.25 x 4.25, 4 x 5, 5 x 7 and 8 x 10.

 

[Ole]

I'm impressed. I couldn't even name 11 film formats!

I didn't think I could either, until I listed up what I shoot.

I'm always tempted to add another - like 6x40 (paste half a 120 film in a 30x40 holder), but this area isn't flat enough to stay in the frame for that sort of panorama. Maybe 6x24...

 

[PatTrent]

Mostly 6x6, plus some 35mm.

 

[haris]

Three, 35mm, 6x6, 6x7.

 

[RalphLambrecht]

Currently, I shoot 35mm, 4x4, 4.5x6, 6x6, 6x7, 6x9, 6x12, 6x17, 2.25 x 3.25, 3.25 x 4.25, 4 x 5, 5 x 7 and 8 x 10.

Please forgive me for asking, but seriously, why?
