Hence, it's not possible to read any meaning at all into the results.

Who cares?

Had you taken the time to read my second post boredom had nothing to do with it. Read that post then comment.

It's good to see that there are more woman shooting larger formats. As I said before their only two that I know personally compared to the 20 or more males. Even though in my experience the men outnumber the woman 10:1, the photographs those two woman produce are immeasurably better then nearly all the males I know using any format.

I think the most interesting info this is providing is regarding indifferent individuals and those that tried it and hated it.

Well, 4x5, 5x7, 8x10 and soon 11x14 and 8x20. After that I think I'll stop! Hell, that is what I said after i got the 4x5! Something about contact prints that is having me get out the 8x10 after shooting the 4x5 for quite a while. Maybe it's the nice brass lens I just got.

... Maybe, when my kids slow down a bit (hah!!) I'll shoot more 4x5...

Suzanne - you're gonna have a long wait!

As far as the poll goes... I shoot MF and 5x7 about equally and 4x5 a little less.

I apologize for being rude. It happens sometimes. But it doesn't change the meaning of the message. If you were truly an information junkie, you would realize your 'poll' is so unscientific that it's useless. None of your selections comes close to how I feel about LF. Hence my answers are statistically irrelevant. If my answers are statistically irrelevant, the poll is irrelevant.

So I repeat the question.. are you so bored you have to make up a bunch of dumb responses and try and get people to... I don't know.. see if they agree with how YOU look at this stuff? Why?

So I re-read your second post. It makes no more sense than the first.

I guess my advice to you is... go out and shoot some film. Take a class in sociological statistics. Learn how to coat plates. You know, something useful.

There isn't a category for me. I shoot everything from 35mm to 10x8, depending on the circumstances and what my intended end result is. For me, it's about making pictures, and so choosing the best tool for whatever picture I want to make at the time. That would mean I fall about halfway between your '4' and your '5', I suppose.

Same here, except that I also shoot ULF. And 6.5x9cm.

I borrowed a 4x5 once and really liked it, but it's a lot of expense for gear and film. With medium format, bracketing becomes more affordable for a grad student.

I didn't get my drivers liscence when I turned 16 (got it at 25) and poured what money I had into camera gear, instead of cars, gas, insurance, etc.

I think I was 22 when I bought my 4x5 camera outfit, and I'm still using it as my only camera for personal work 25 years later. Pretty smart for not really planning it, eh?
