Large Format Poll 2

[Brian Ellis]

Where's the "none of the above" choice?

[Gary J. McCutcheon]

The crossover information between formats is valuable and restrictions , I feel, would constrain the educational opportunities of the forum. I say leave it as is.

People are trying to solve a non problem with these discussions on what is LF and trying to turn the moderators into the large format version of the Taliban.

I have used roll film backs in my 4x5 for 20 years. We have talked about that option ever since I have been a part of this forum and I will continue to as long as I care to. As a matter of fact I will talk about anything that I think my fellow LF photographers might be interested in here. This whole discussion is nonsense.

I personally think we should ban all anonymous posters who try to control the content of this forum.

Why only anonymous? The way I see it, this whole discussion was started by people who have a problem with digital and who are trying to solve the problem by eliminating the topic, the rest is just embroidery.

I fully agree with your willingness to talk about anything that others on this forum might be interested in, as long as the discussion remains civil. This forum has proven amazingly successful in this so far, so why ruin it?

I'm interested in all processes. Let's not turn this forum into APUG....if you don't want to hear about digital then go over there.

apug has been having a similar discussion over there ...

its too bad ---
it seems that it doesn't matter where one spends their time,
eventually it becomes "exclusive", and people who just want to enjoy themselves
and show people what they have been up to end up having to leave
and going somewhere else ... because they don't use the right film or tools.

This is a relative civil photography site. Granted there have been heated discussions about topics and images. IMO this poll is rather pointless. Besides, the site is owned by QTL and he has been quite generous letting the public participate freely. It is his privilege to disallow stitched images.

[Jim Ewins]

Like Mike, I don't see a choice for Yes. Is it getting out of hand? Too many Helga images??? Oh horrors.

[Mark Sampson]

These things will find their own level. I doubt if we'll be inundated by stitchers, digicammers, or Minox fans any time soon. Let QT Luong set his own rules, and let the rest of us live by them.

[Walter Calahan]

I love photographing with my 8x10, 4x5, 6x7, 6x6, 35mm, and DSLR cameras. It's all photography.

Let's have a big tent, instead of a pup tent. Let's celebrate how people see, not what type of machine through which they see.

[Vaughn]

How about pinhole camera using 14x17 film? Is that a "view camera"?
