The last time I thought about getting a whiz-bang new 35mm camera
(before the MZ-S came out), my final decision was that, for the money
that I'd spend on, say, an F-5, I'd much rather have a 645n. Bigger neg
almost always means better picture.
Until the MZ-S came out, I was pretty much sold on never owning a new
35mm body.
To address a point from a post by Shel, I really don't find the
selection of film in 120 to be that limited. Really, the only films
that I can't get are things like Gold Max and Kirkland...nearly all of
the pro films are represented. Availability from location to location,
on the other hand, is more problematic.
