    Definition of LF on Wikipedia

    I'm sure, between us, we can enhance and add to the description of LF on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_format)- as it stands it's a pretty poor entry for a craft entering it's 3rd century.

    At least they dont consider 11x14 to be a seperate category, though their inclusion of 6x9 is quite puzzling.

    The 'photographers who have used large format' is a weird thing too. I would say the majority of famous photographers have used large format.

    6x9 isn't really LF. What is considered the start of large format, 4x5?

    Definetely needs some clean-up.

    LF is sometimes viewed as being any sheet film camera, (opposed to roll) and therefore would/could include 6x9 (sheet) cameras.

    A discussion of the changing view of what LF is would probably be better. There was a time when 4x5 was mostly with RB and considered medium format.
