Why 2 1/4 format is more practical for me.

When I sat my Ikoflex 2 1/4 TLR down next to the Wollensak Veritar 14 inch lens, I realized why 2 1/4 format became popular. What a monster this Veritar with Alphax shutter is and I don't own a pickup.

Yes, there is something to be said for smaller formats. Big cameras can't always do what you want. That lens is HUGE!

It's called freedom.

Nice illustration. It's very true that LF isn't for everyone or for every purpose. To be fair, though, that lens is on the BIG side of big.

I've got the opposite problem. I have a natty little Minolta Autocord TLR. It's light as a feather around my neck and I've taken it on trips where LF and ULF would be out of the question. The problem is I never develop the film. I've got 5 rolls laying on the bathroom counter and 2 or 3 more out in the garage in a junk drawer. And when I do finally develop it, I never make the prints. Hearts not in it I guess.

Agreed. As much as I like the portability of my 6x9 range finder, roll film to me is not enjoyable to deal with. I would rather take my digital instead of roll film.

oops. Daniel, I know you didn't mean to drop the D bomb.

Nevermind, this is LFForum. It's OK.

He got all upset and forgot himself.
