Which is the best format ?

darenla · 19th January 2008

As 4x5 is hard to process in SG, is 120 still the best or 220 ?

You still can process 4x5 in Singapore, but its expensive.This is the best format

the image will "blow" you away.( It will cost you minimum about S$11 per shot/shutter click ) I have the 4x5 but I prefer to use 120.

The 220 format has been discontinued long ago and now its history.

If you are buying an antique camera for shooting, you may not want to buy a 220 format.

The only format that is economical now will be the 120 format.

The best format is the largest you can support by developing and scanning/printing. 8x10 is great, but if you can't support it, then 120 would do.
