==Formats==
The most common large format is {{cvt|4 × 5|in|cm}}, which was the size used by cameras like the [[Graflex]] [[Speed Graphic]] and Crown Graphic, among others. Less common formats include quarter-plate ({{cvt|3.25 x 4.25|in|cm}}), {{cvt|5 × 7|in|cm}}, and {{cvt|8 × 10|in|cm}}; the size of many old 1920s [[Kodak]] cameras (various versions of Kodak 1, 2, and 3 and Master View cameras, to much later Sinar monorail studio cameras) are {{cvt|11 × 14|in|cm}}, {{cvt|16 × 20|in|cm}}, {{cvt|20 × 24|in|cm}}, various panoramic or "banquet" formats (such as {{resx|4×10}} and {{resx|8×20}} inches ({{resx|10x25}} and {{resx|20x51}}&nbsp;cm), and metric formats, including {{cvt|9 × 12|cm|in}}, {{cvt|10 × 13|cm|in}}, and {{cvt|13 × 18|cm|in}} and assorted old and current aerial image formats of {{cvt|9 × 9|in|cm}}, {{cvt|9 × 18|in|cm}} (K17, K18, K19, K22 etc.), using roll film of 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, or 10 inches width or, [[view camera]]s (including [[pinhole camera]]s), reproduction/process cameras, and x-ray film.

Above {{resx|8×10}} inches, the formats are often referred to as [[Ultra Large Format]] (ULF) and may be {{resx|11×14}}, {{resx|16×20}}, or {{resx|20×24}} inches or as large as film, plates, or cameras are available. Many large formats (e.g., {{resx|24×24}}, {{resx|36x36}}, and {{resx|48x48}} inches) are horizontal cameras designed to make big negatives for contact printing onto press-printing plates.

The [[Polaroid 20×24 camera]] is one of the largest format [[instant camera]]s in common usage and can be hired from Polaroid agents in various countries.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.20x24studio.com/ | title=20 x 24 Studio}}</ref> Many well-known photographers have used the {{convert|235|lb|kg}}, wheeled-chassis Polaroid.
