I am a lazy bastard and got encouraged by Michael's post... Well, maybe not!

Here it goes:

20 to 30 B&W rolls/year (T-Max 100 and 400, Tri-X)
10 Color Negative rolls/year (Portra 400)
30 to 40 Color Slide rolls/year (Provia 100F)

All of it is in 120 format.

Yeah, I know... I need to go out and take more pictures.


Cheers,
Flavio

Not enough

I've shot very little film. Under 100 rolls. I'm slowly getting inspired. I'm leaving for a trip with my lovely wife for 2 weeks in Turkey and Greece.:D

Title says it all...

The more people that vote, the more meaningful the poll result will be. So please place your vote rather than just looking to see what that the current poll voting says....

Note: ITS MULTIPLE CHOICE

I haven'tused any film in 5 years now,ashamed to say:pouty:

Not a very scientific Poll but intersting never the less. Seems that a large percentage, around 60%, use less than a roll of film per week, I suspect you're not the only one.

And given that the average number of people online at any one time is around 1000 and if we assume that 10% of those have voted, then I'd say its probably fairly representative of active members. I assume the "Online" number means over the last 24 hours but I'm guessing about that.

Having said that, 13% or so are using a fair bit of film so its not all bad.

About 50 rolls of 35mm, 35 rolls of 120 (in both medium format and LF backs), and 200 sheets of 4x5. All of this is B&W.

I just got back into film 2 years ago, and I'm still shooting color in digital. However, I'll be doing some transparency work in MF again soon. So if we poll next year, you'll see some color film up there, too.

Sadly, I don't shoot as much as I did; since moving to BKK I haven't had access to my darkroom and my usage has decreased dramatically.

I'm currently trying to work out how I can keep the dust situation to a minimum when drying film (bathroom won't work as it's shared), that way I can start shooting again on a more regular basis.
