Usually anywhere between 0-8/month with a mean of about 3. All 120.

Only a year ago I shot about 0.5 - 1/month on average so it seems to be picking up. I'm also starting out with self-processing for colour so I'm sure I'll be shooting more for the sake of experimenting over the next little while.

last year, about 250 35mm rolls +100 medium format + 100 4x5 or so.
Oh! and 1 roll of Minox film :)

It is easier for me to think of it in years than months, as I count up my receipts and remaining supplies yearly. I know that I go through about three or four pro packs (60 or 80 rolls) of Fuji Press 800 and about 100 rolls of 35mm black and white (HP5, Tri-X, and Delta 3200) per year on an average year with one decent-length road trip. With 120 and sheet film, the amount varies wildly depending on what I am up to, but my 35mm use is pretty regular at those numbers, give or take a brick. I used to shoot a lot more Press 800 when I was actually shooting news a lot, but I switched to digital for that, now don't really do it at all, unless for myself.

I usually shoot 2-4 rolls of 35mm and 120 per month.

Maybe 4 (35mm) per month heavily skewed toward the summer and holidays. In 2008, when I lived in Sweden, I shot 8 rolls per month - new place, new things to see / shoot.

Now that I have my "lab" up to speed I've all but dropped 135 and have gone full speed with 120. So... I go through about 20 rolls of 120 and 8 of 135. I suspect when springs comes it will increase unless Obamamonics holds me back again. Oh, it's all B & W.

I shoot about 3 rolls/week; some weeks 5; all B&W. All 35mm film (Tri-X).

I do my color work with DSLR's.

My rate has picked up some over the past year. I'd say I use 6 rolls of 120/month, maybe 8 sheets of 4x5, and now that I have a new toy, a 6.5x8.5" antique camera, I'll be putting a few sheets a month through that. Most of my work is B&W, but I will throw in a roll or a couple of sheets of color negative film in the mix.

Depends. Sometimes only 1-2 rolls in the month while at other times I can use over 10 rolls in a month.
