    My last one was in 2010. It was for a poster that was reproduced to about 40"x50." I will be shooting some portraits with LF this year but it is my decision, not my client's.

    Excuse me for asking. The payment for your assignments was adequate (hight) to the LF equipment that you use? Or maybe it was low paid?

    I am wondering is there a place for LF in commercial use anymore?

    this is 2012, fuji has discontinued their 4x5 instant film and kodak filed chapter 11 yesterday. I know of one guy who sometimes gets to shoot 4x5 industrial work but not often.
    The answer is no.

    A friend of mine is an architecture photographer and she uses nothing but LF cameras with Film. LF still has a place in Architecture photography even though a lot of photographers shoot digital and correct the lines in PS. PS takes more time then doing it right from the beginning. Have done some commercial LF shooting in 2011 as well.

    Since the beginning of 2011 I've been shooting with 4x5', 5x7' and panoramic formats for a project wich follows the whole process of tranforming my town, Rio de Janeiro, on the next capital of Olympic Games on 2016.
    Most of this work is made on b&w film and part of it can be found here: www.cidadeolimpica.com
    On the future, I hope, we shall have books and expositions wich will explore the full power of those big negatives.

    Fuji 4x5 instant film is discontinued?! I made 6 months ago a pinhole camera for it. And shoot only two packs.
