    We'd like to know just how popular the different "large format" formats are. We'd bet that 4x5 is the big leader but what's next? 5"x7"? 9x12cm?
    Please answer our poll. It's not particularly scientific but it's better than just guessing.

    I made my selections. I shoot whole plate in addition to 4x5 and 5x7.

    Although there are still many users of the metric 13x18 cm format, the old European size 18x24 cm is probably hardly ever used today, except with paper negatives.

    should we just list the formats we use if they aren't in the poll
    cause if the poll was edited to contain all the formats between 4x5 and ULF
    it would probably be more than 10 checkboxes ( i think that's the limit )
    between european and continental (english? ) sizes there are 6 between 4x5, 5x7 and 8x10 ..

    Okay, 4x5 doesn't even work for me as I contact print carbon transfer. So 8x10, 8x20, 11x14 and 14x17 work for me. Hope this helps.

    I used to shoot in 8x10 but simply cannot afford the hubdreds of dollars for a box of ten.

    Love 8x10 transparencies and would use that if ever I could.

    There are only three types of mounting flanges; too big, too small and wrong thread!
