I carry my poo poo in a bag and I have a job that gives me enough money to buy film at the end of the day.

I never take my camera out of the bag without being reasonably sure of how I'm going to compose the photo.

And even once it's out, you have a 4x5" glass plate that's showing the image you're going to take. At that point you've got to put the holder in the camera, stop down the lens, cock the shutter, remove the dark slide, and fire. There's a lot of time to think hard about the shot you're taking before you do it.

I don't understand why people would want to share their LF work on Instagram. Such a big format presented on such a tiny network.

I think the network is huge though. You gotta go where the people are, to some extent. It does seem somewhat silly, but also you can still see the LF difference in the photos.

I dunno. I think snobbery is available to people who are already successful. Lynch can rail against iPhones all he wants, he doesn't have to worry about people not watching his stuff. He can afford to tell them that they're consuming his work "wrong".

Also, why would you limit yourself? The more people who look at, appreciate, and get interested in any sort of analog photography, the better. The more inaccessible and exclusive you make it, the fewer people buy film and cameras, and the sooner it dies.

You're implying that the goal of all (most?) photographers is purely for exposure. I don't think you need to be successful to want to retain some modicum of control over how your images are presented. There's nothing inherently wrong with sharing your images on whatever platform you want, but I personally feel like you're losing out on some of the benefits of presentation of LF (or even any non-phone image, really) when displaying them on a medium that's going to only be viewed on a small screen. If your entire goal is exposure or convincing people to follow in your footsteps, sure, whatever, use Instagram. I use it as a mobile phone sketchbook but obviously I don't represent the views of the entire userbase.

I mean you could just say what you are trying too like El Garbo and not be an rear end in a top hat? It's not difficult.

He's not being an rear end in a top hat, you're just a baby.

Chill out, dude, you throw a hissy fit every time you post.

If you think going MF/LF will solve your issues with wide angles you're going down the wrong path. 10mm on crop isn't good enough? Not a single MF or LF lens will let you get that wide.

edit: I checked. There's a 47mm Schneider that barely covers 4x5, which is roughly equivalent to a 12mm lens on 35.
