What % of your work is in LF...4 x 5 and up?
What % of your work is in LF...4 x 5 and up?
For the past decade it has been a very small percentage... but that's the most productive percentage it seems.
99.9%. My only cameras are large format now. The rest are very occasional shots with my iPhone that I wouldn't waste sheets on.
About 98% based on film area exposed -- I still enjoy using the Rolleiflex occasionally.
It’s a low percentage if by number of shots – I also shoot 35mm.
But like Vaughn, 98% by film area exposed.
About 99.9% by time devoted to the format!
Heroique -- By darkroom (and field) time, it would be about 99.9% for me, too! Just spent 18 hours straight printing LF negs (carbon prints)!
99% 4x5. 1% iPhone.
rough % by # of exposures:
B&W: 100% LF 4x5/8x10
Color: 40% LF chromes, 40% MF digital, 20% 35mm both chromes and digital

If you believe you can, or you believe you can't... you're right.
I am happiest with the black and white 11x14's from 4x5.
Everything else leaves me craving more detail.
99+% 4x5 color and a fraction of a percentage point of digital over the last six years, or so.
