Poll: How old are you LF shooters?

[waynecrider]

Are the baby boomers pushing the LF cottage industry to a greater presence then it has been in many years. Let's see.

 

[Monophoto]

I'm a premature 60. But I've been doing LF for about 12 years.

 

[roteague]

I'm 51. Why don't you add a real poll? I would be interesting to see a graph of the numbers.

 

[Donald Miller]

I'm 63 been doing LF for over twenty years.

 

[bobfowler]

I'm 47, but have been shooting large format since I was 15 or 16...

 

[Silverpixels5]

I'm 28. Hopefully I can learn enough to keep LF going as long as materials for it are avaliable.

 

[Jeremy]

23 as of the end of last month

 

[Drew B.]

I'm 53...and have been Large formating it for only 4 years. I'm now also doing 6x7 and I might stick with that...and put the 4x5 to bed...but who knows?

[df cardwell]

55.

Got my 8x10... 35 years ago.

 

[Dan Fromm]

62. Shooting 2x3 (not LF, some say) with Graphics (LF, some say) for about 14 years. 2x3 Graphics are on the cusp between MF (medium, not manual) and LF.

 

[Dave Parker]

44, been using LF gear since the age of 13, used 35mm for many years, but have been in and out of LF since the age of 13

[KenS]

65 years young... been "at it" for 53 years (30 years as a 'pro') stared off under the supervisionn and encouragement of of a retired neighbour using an early 8x10 Gandolfi... and a Pierce from the turn of the 20th Century equipped with shutterless brassies and Waterhouse stops (the black velvet-lined bowler did the trick wonderfully well. Hopefuly, still as enthusiastic and still in my "learning mode"

[jgjbowen]

48 and returning to large format after a 15 year absence. Graduated from 4x5 to 8x10 in '05. Looking to grow to 7x17 this year.

The poll results indicate it is the boomers pushing Large Format.

 

[papagene]

Hmmmmm... I will be hitting the "Double Nickel" this summer sometime and I have been shooting LF since about 1987 or '88.
