hey,  i kept my 8x10 camera and lenses ( sold off the 4x5
stuff) because the quality is still way beyond any digital
and I dont mind the size weight for that kind of quality.
But its no substitute for a handheld SLR. LF is still alive 
and well as seen by the good prices the cameras and lenses are
still fetching, but MedFmt film photography? It's dead meat right now
as evidenced by the huge price declines over the last 5 years or so.

ME. And the film to go with it, up to 8 x 10 sheet.

Not proud of it, as I have so many other things to occupy my time than  
shooting and trying to get processed and printed large and medium  
format images.

I took a roll of Agfa 120 to a local outfit with a 35mm / 120 digital  
Agfa processor a few weeks ago as a test. The rollers were so unused  
at the 120 width that picks and creases occurred the entire length of  
the roll.
