Only 4x5" and 8x10" both Sinar P2 left over from the era they brought in money. I have also a Linhof Technika 4x5" that's older than I am.
I do shoot 4x10" with the half slide method, but not that much.

I shoot 4 LF formats (hey the title just said how many, not which... )

[rfesk]

Own a bunch of 4x5 and 6x9 cameras but only use 6x9, 4x5, 5x7 backs on an original Toyo Field camera, plus a Busch Pressman 4x5 and a homemade 5x7 P&S.

Other formats: Also own but don't shoot 3x4, 9x12, 8x10.

4x5, 8x10, 8x20 and 14x17. I'm trying to fight off the urge for an 11x14.

^^^^but you need an 11x14!

It's good to see large format remains alive and well.

5x7, Sinar Norma, P or configured as needed driven by image goals with a fleet of mostly barrel lenses (72mm to 780mm) to support this.

2x3, Linhof Technikardan, usually 120 roll film. Lens focal lengths from 38mm to 500mm.

View camera becomes the preferred tool due to it's ability to apply camera. movements as needed and the attributes of sheet film (5x7). The 2x3 comes into it's own as it allows view camera movements on 120 roll film with GOOD image quality at lower per frame film cost compare to sheet film.

Not used 4x5 or 8x10 in decades.

I've narrowed it down to a sweet spot for my own purposes.

4x5 - Horseman L45 monorail. Mostly used at home. A great camera and stable/heavy.

5x7 - Argentum Excursor I. This is the camera I bring places. Very lightweight but still very stable, a pleasure to use.

11x14 - Svedovsky with 11x14, 8x10 and 5x7 backs. This camera is a weighty beast and I don't yet have a Ries or other capable tripod for it, so I have mostly been adapting a small writing table as a stand for it and using it in the neighborhood and at home inside and out.
