    Just the one format: 4x5.
    Two cameras: Tachi and Calumet 540.
    Three lenses: 90, 150, 254.

    I also have a 120 roll film back (6x7) but that isn't LF...

    8x10 An old Empire State with a bad light leak.

    18 x 24 cm Something German (Meyer Gorlitz maybe), on a large wooden tripod that weighs about a ton. Takes fine pictures though.

    4 x 5. Using mainly an Arca Discovery. Have another Arca, a couple old Calumets, a Linhof Technika, and the usual assortment of Graphics.

    3 x 4 Speed Graphic that I've never shot.

    These days, 8x10. Some 5x7.

    2x3 Graflex RB
    3x4 Graflex RB
    4x5 Several different models
    5x7 three different models
    8x10 A field and a monorail

    The only camera that gives me "format confusion" is the 8x10 Horseman, because it's controls are a bit different. I only use it as a studio camera, since it weights about 8000 pounds (give or take a couple of tons), but I seldom get much opportunity these days. I might have to take up still life just to use it.

    4 x 5: Wista 45N, 45D and a pinhole camera
    3-1/4 x 4-1/4: National Photocolor 3T44
    6.5 x 9 : Devin Tricolor (but that's MF I guess)

    I do have some 5x7 holders around but no camera to put them in Maybe make a pinhole one day.

    Re: How Many LF Formats Do You Use/Own?

    120
    Pentax 67II (fisheye - 500mm)
    Noblex PRO 6/150 UX
    FUJI GSW690III
    Agfa Isolette
    Mottweiler P.90 (pan pinhole)

    4x5
    Sinar Norma + X (65mm - 600mm)

    whole plate
    Chamonix (90mm SAXL - 600mm)

    8x10
    Sinar Norma + Chamonix (120mm - 600mm)
    pinhole box

    11x14
    Chamonix (5.9" - 27")
    pinhole box

    In the winter I pretty much only shoot 120. Come spring through the fall, I use the largest format that I can easily carry to the location. I always carry with me a Linhof multifocus finder with equivalent lenses for 4x5 to 11x14 formats marked on it. "format confusion"... nope. Shoot with only one film: FP4 PLUS which greatly simplifies things.
