A New Year classic: how much film did you shoot last year?

Slightly down on last year - about 80 rolls of 35mm and 20 x 120.

This was across 13 different types - I really should reduce this variety and stick to some specifics. It won't be this year as I have plenty of different films in stock that I need to use up - I have about 50 x 35mm and 50 x 120 in stock so I shouldn't need to buy much this year, though I do need to shoot more 120.
 
I was down this year, shooting only 64 rolls, all 35mm. Having a new M8 to play with impacted my film shooting for a bit. I expect to shoot more film this year, however.

Half of my rolls (32) were Tri-X, with another 10 rolls of Arista Premium 400 and Ilford PanF+. I also shot 20 rolls of color film, half of it being Kodak Porta 160NC and 400NC. The other 10 rolls of color were Fuji Velvia 50, Kodak Ektar 100 and Fuji Natura 1600.

Much like Damaso shot last year, I am planning on using primarily Tri-X and Porta 400NC this year.
 
As per my flickr, I shot 91 rolls of 35mm, mainly Tri X and about 25 rolls of MF. As to the keepers, I noticed thee were more of them at the beginning of the year...
 
Not as much as you and maybe not even much by 'normal' RFF standards.

But still... more film than ever before in my life, and I have been a dedicated amateur photographer before digital took off.
 
I would say around one roll a week. 90 percent Tri-X. I think about getting a film loader and buying it in 100ft rolls. I am trying to stick with it for some time, as I found it very versatile. I really like its low light capabilites. At the moment I rate it around 800-1600 and do semi-stand development in Rodinal. But I would also like to explore the lower speeds with the same developer.
 
Good to see people using film. I'd estimate about 3/4 qtrs of the people here have galleries too.

Regarding film shot. I have no idea how many rolls I burned however I know that vieri the OP @ 223 rolls, MPerson @ 1,026 rolls, freakscene @ 545 rolls, and others here at "400 rolls plus" shot way more than I did.

I don't envy the time they have to spend in front of a sink developing this stuff at 5 rolls at a time, then scanning, sleeving and filing negs. I know because I do this myself.

It's a dedicated group for sure.

I would say 70 or so rolls of 35mm for me, around 15 rolls of 120. Mix of colour and b&w. I wouldn't have shot so many if it wasn't for a tour of europe at the end of the year which accounts for 38 of those rolls.
 
In 35mm: About 50 rolls of HP5+, a small handfull of FP4+. One roll of Tri-X when I ran out of Hp5 while away from home.

In 120, five rolls of HP5+.
I'd say there are one or two "keepers" on every roll. I made the change from SLR to rangefinder (Leica M2 with CLE-Rokkor 40 f2) this year, and I am liking it very much so far.
 
I shot a ton of film -- the boxes of prints/negs in my office cupboards can attest to that. I'm still wanting to set my darkroom up again, but I think I need a bit of goading.

Last year was a great year for my Hasselblads, and for my Contaflex TLR -- hoping to do as much this year!
 
i figure something around 400 sheets of 4x5 probably more thinking about it now.

200+ rolls of 35mm
200+ rolls of 120/220. mostly 120 for bw, 220 for color.

10 plus rolls of kodachrome
 
I shot probably about 25-30 rolls last year. I'm mostly digital at this point but I shot some Kodachrome and APX100 with my Nikon F6, Leica M5 & 7 as well as my Nikon SP.

Taking some film to Vegas this next weekend as a matter of fact.

Not a lot of 35mm film (maybe 10 rolls). I got in to this RF craze late!! But too much 4x5 film. More than 100 sheets
 
this is great to get some context. Out of my film friends I shot the most, but I only came in at 134 rolls last year! Arista legacy pro 400 dipped in xtol being the most of it
 
24 rolls (35mm) from ~July (when I "tried" film again for the 1st time in…more than 10 years) to December. Grain was love at first sight…:D
