If so, what size was it? 4x5, 5x7, 8x10, 11x14, 16x20, 20x24, 30x40 ?

Yep. Omega.view and a few Sinars, one was 8x10.
Oh, and a Crown and Super Speed Graphic.

Yes I have. A 4x5 Speed Graphic. Big and heavy. Even with just a 4x5 negative, the quality of image at 8x10 is just amazing.

Ah, yes - Sinar ... I wonder if they're still making 8x10s ....

Makes the term "full frame" look pretty ridiculous.

Yes, well, of course - Ansel Adams never shot with anything less than an 11x14 ....

Me, too. Note that in ten minutes, the OP asked ELEVEN inane questions. I don't know whether he is going after Jerry's record (all by himself) or whether he just likes to see his name on the internet.

I have used and loved a Linhof Technicardan 45 and a Kodak Master View 8 x 10. My advanced cancer has caused me to give them up and I now use a Sony aR7II. The advantages and disadvantages of the three distinctive formats inform my choice of and approaches to my subjects and how I print the final images. I print exclusively in carbon transfer now and have successfully adapted images from the afore mentioned three in addition to images initially captured with Hasselblad, Contax and Leica cameras. It's not the camera, it's the concept and the execution that produces a compelling print

You miscounted!!! ... Actually, I added an even dozen, pre-written, earlier - to the 28 I already had up - for a sum total, now of 40 ... I'm sorry you consider them inane. That was not my intention. Again, I am curious to see who does what, here, and if there any other serious photographers.

Just likes to see my name on the Internet? ... But, my name ISN'T ON the Internet. It's only here, and only half of it. There are no hidden motives for my posts, here. They are for the reasons I've just outlined.

Would that be Jerry of Ben and Jerry fame?

Sorry about your cancer, Fred ...

Glad you are still able to shoot, and also - make compelling prints ...
