I sometimes use my 12x10 for portraits.

It is now.

Pre-WW2 Miniature cameras were 120, 127, and 35mm. Medium Format were Quarter plate, 9x12, 5x4, Half plate, & Whole plate, and Large format was 10x8 and larger formats.

Thanks Ian,

I always thought of ULF starting at 11x14 and then onto those quirky banquet cameras like 14x17 and 12x20 and so on. 10x12 seems to be an overlooked format.
Oh well, we live and learn.

Here in the UK we used 12"x10", and then 15"x12". In the US the next size up after 10"x8" was 14"x11". Just the way camera manufacturers went,.
