Affordable and big
Big digital (22-60 Megapixle) is for the big guys like large advertising firms and high end magazines, but only about 5 years ago these same guys relied on MF film. For anyone who wants 3-5 times bigger than 12-16 megapixle (I think my math is correct once good scanning is done), there is 6x6 or 6x7 cm format. Yes you have to wait for the results with developing, you always have a dust problem (at least I do), no matter how clean I keep my D. Tank, there is alwayse dust present; your fastest shutter speed is around 1/500 sec. and maybe you have a choice of one zoom lens, all other lenses are primes; you also have to be very accurate with exposures. With all these challenges, I find I take more time when Using MF usualy resulting in better photographs. For all this bother, I only use MF for fine art requiring big images and for any image over 16x20 inches.
Best regards to all
