How many formats do you shoot?

[DBP]

As I noted elsewhere, I shoot a lot of different films. Earlier today someone asked what formats I shoot. The answer surprised me. So I figured it was time for a poll. The number should be the number of negative sizes, so 6x6 and 6x7 count as 2. Have fun.

If I consider those formats which I shoot regularly, it's 8. If I include antique camera formats, it's 11 or more. So, are you looking for what formats people shoot regularly?

I shoot in 5 format sizes according to: 35mm, 6x6, 6x7, 6x12, and 4x5. Additionally, I also have both a Graflex lever and knob RH8 a 6x8 or 6x9 format for my 4x5; if I included the RH8, it would bring me to 6 format sizes.

Good Evening, DPB,

35mm, 4.5 x 6, 6 x 6, 6 x 7, 6 x 9(very rarely), and 4 x 5. Mostly 6 x 7 and 4 x 5.

I primarily shoot 3. 4x5 (most of the time), 6x12 (with the 4x5 camera) and 35mm.

 

[TheFlyingCamera]

35mm, Xpan, 6x6, 4x5, 5x7, 8x10. For now. Other, larger and more panoramic formats forthcoming as time and budget permit.

 

[PaulH]

645, 4x5 (not much), 5x7, 8x10 & 8x20.

 

[David A. Goldfarb]

35mm, 6x6, 6x7, 6x9, 6x12, 6x17, 4x5", 5x7", 8x10", 11x14". I'm not counting 4x10", which I do with a half-darkslide mask on 8x10". I forgot to count 2x3" sheet film, which is about the same a 6x7cm rollfilm.

 

[raucousimages]

APX (great pocket camera with my boy scouts) 35mm, 6X4.5, 6X6, 6X7, 6X9 (roll film back for 4X5), 4X5, 5X7, 8X10 and 4X10 (8X10 with splitter). What happened? For 20 years I was happy with 35mm, 6X4.5 and 6x6. Oh that's right, everyone went digital and sold me (or gave) me all their gear real cheap!

 

[AZLF]

6x4.5,6x6,35mm and 4x5". I also have 6x7 and 6x9 roll film backs for the 4x5" but use them rarely.

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.

 

[BruceN]

35mm - 6x6 - 6x7 - 4x5

Oddly enough, these are pretty well getting the job done for me right now so I haven't been lusting after anything else. I appear to be trending opposite of the "usual" APUGger in that I've been shooting a lot more 35mm lately...

[MurrayMinchin]

100% 4x5 for personal work...35mm for family snap-shots.

[dschneller]

35mm, 127, 120, 4x5. All for fun.

[paul ewins]

35mm and 4x5 regularly
6x7 and 6x14 occasionally
Once the house extensions are finished and the new darkroom is usable I plan to start reloading 16mm B&W into 110 cartridges, so that will be another format.

 

[Papa Tango]

In order of predominance: 6x7, 6x6, 6x4.5, 4x5, 35.

 

[André E.C.]

35mm, 6x6 and 6x9.
6x6 all the time, some 6x9 and very rarely 35mm!

Cheers

André

[philldresser]

I shoot 5x4 and 35mm. I'd like to use the 5x4 more than I do , then migrate to something bigger later.

[benjiboy]

I just shoot 35mm and 6x6, I prefer 6x6 and use it 75% of the time.
