I'm 8-1/2.

But I measure in inverse dog-years.

Im 31, have been shooting LF for about 3-4 years now.

I signed the patent application for dirt.

It was hard to see, because they hadn't invented light yet.

Been shooting for over 55 years, all formats from half-frame 35mm through 4x5.

I'm 21, starting shooting film when I was 18, large format when I was 20. I haven't gone through the thread but I'm probably one of the youngest members here

Possibly the youngest one on here. I'm 15 and began LF a year ago. Shot point-and-shoots until discovering a N6006 when I was 10. Now equipped with a Sinar and minimal darkroom equipment, I hope to be shooting into the decades to come.

25 here, and just started LF in October. By the time I know what I'm doing, I'll probably be retired. x__x

So now it would be time to go larger for example 8x10;--)))

I've considered that, but doubt that I will.

Too much new equipment must be added to an already huge inventory.

When I designed my darkroom I decided that 4x5 would be my largest negative size, and set up everything for that format. The enlarger is a Beseler 45MX, etc, etc.

My Jobo rotary system would handle 8x10 sheet film, and I could easily make contact prints using the Beseler, but my usual prints are larger than 8x10.

Perhaps, one day.

Thanks.

I out lived my hair and I know I was born before color was invented 'cause all my childhood pictures are B&W.

I'm 23, and I've been shooting 4x5 since 2007. At first i was just using my university's gear, but starting last summer I've started collecting my own equipment. Built myself my first home darkroom in october.
