    As well as the formats checked in the survey, I like to use 6x9 too.

    Gulp...none of the ones in the table....
    I use (or have coming) 8x20, whole-plate (6.5"x8.5"), 14x17 and 7x11....I bet there isn't a person who does even 3 of those 4! (that's just my way of finding out!)...

    Chris, some people use 7x17, 8x20, whole-plate...might be good to add those to the list?

    I would have been curious as to differences between those who shoot a few MF rolls on their 4x5 (or whatever) vrs. those using dedicated MF cameras.
