Next month this thread will be SEVEN years old...I've gone from quinquagenerian to sexagenarian (not nearly as glamorous or lust inducing as it sounds!) in that time...

I began using medium format (4x5) when I was eight (8) years old. At that time nothing smaller than 8x10 was considered large format which I did not began to use until I was 10 or 11 years old.
I am now 80.
All my film was, and is, developed by inspection in trays.

I'm three years younger than Jim Noel, but didn't get a LF (4x5 Newton New Vue) until the mid 1960s

60 next month - started LF in 1994. Total of 2007 sheets of 4x5 in my files so averaging around 134 sheets per year (varies wildly including zero) of the good, the bad and the ugly.

Greetings from Melbourne , Australia : I started shooting black and white film ( 127 size ) in 1943 , I had to see/saw the film in a tray in the dark . In 1951 moved up to 35mm , in 1983 I purchased a H /Blad which still gets a good work-out , Have been a 4" x 5" Wisner owner since 1997 using Kodak Tri-X mainly.
I am 74 years old ...............
Black and White film forever !!!!!
