The link to John sexton at the bottom of the page, goes to a professor of law at NYU. I have no idea how to edit so I'll leave it to the experts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.209.194.201 (talk) 16:47, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
This IP [1] shows that the same person linkspammed B&H Photo over 8 articles in two days making this linkspam by pattern. The link is to a site that exist to sell a product or service and contains excessive advertising and therefore does not meet WP:EL. Halfblue 15:43, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Pictures showing large-format equipment and large-format pictures showing the strengths of the format would be useful. --84.20.17.84 08:47, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
It would be GREAT if this article explained in MUCH more detail how the glass/film exchange worked, the kinds of connection, the difference between kinds, for example that leaf shutters are used etc. This article needs help. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.148.4.31 (talk) 05:16, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
The second paragraph says: "The Polaroid 20x24 inch instant camera is one of the largest format cameras currently in common usage". Is this still the case? If not, please update the article. 204.210.242.157 (talk) 13:28, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
The Polaroid 20x24 inch instant camera is one of the largest format cameras currently in common usage. In 2008 20x24 Holdings LLC purchased the production assets and remaining film stock from Polaroid as they ended their film production. 20x24 Holdings operates the 20x24 Studio in New York City where it is available for rental and continues to provide film for 20x24 cameras worldwide. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Giottoarts (talk • contribs) 15:46, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
As this article recently moved from Large format to Large format (film), I am curious if it was discussed among editors. I'm not opposed to the move, but think that a move to Large format photography would have been more inclusive of the article as it would encompass film, cameras and the overall topic of large format photography.

added some referencesn to older cameras like the kodak 2 and 3, and speed graphics, and WWII 9x9 9x18 aerial cameras, and to modern large format 4x5, 9x9, etc. digital sensors. (the most expensive camera today may be the leitz 9x9 digital aerial survey camera, where the camera controls the flight path of the plane.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.54.85.165 (talk) 13:24, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
re; "The main advantage of large format, film or digital, is higher resolution. A 4×5 inch image has about 16 times the area, and thus 16× the total resolution, of a 35 mm frame."
This would make the casual reader think 4x5" film is 16 times better than 35mm, whereas difference in linear resolution is a better indicator of perceivied quality. Using linear resolution would equate to 4x5" being about 4.25 times better than 35mm.
There might be some subjective 'wow factor' for the larger format, but surely not enough to bump 4x to 16x.

Of all the Large format film that has ever been exposed it is save to assume that it was for Imagery intelligence by cameras such as the Fairchild F-8.
Kind of the elephant in the room. --Moritzgedig (talk) 12:01, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
