I won't go into any of the details here...but suffice to say, Medium Format Film has been around for a long time and is still (and may always be) a staple of fine art, studio, and landscape photography.
I do have a few recently-acquired older film cameras, ie, a couple of Minolta 9000's (arguably one of best 35mm SLRs ever made), a couple of real old Pentax Spotmatics, and couple of Canon EOS Elan 35mm's, and my baby, a pristine 1979-ish Mamiya 645 1000s...and, an assortment of lenses for all of these formats. The entire booty hasn't cost me a quarter of what a near-new 12 megapixel digital SLR camera body (alone) would run. As a matter of technical fact: A 2 1/4 medium format negative is (arguably) equal in resolution to a 40-50 mp digital file. A 35mm negative is still far superior to any 10mp image.
Bottom line: I'm still using digital. However, I am going back to "old school" with film...both black & white and color.
No film (digitized through my new high-res scanner) files to upload yet. Soon, though.
It's scarier'n shit to push the shutter release with film...plus, I won't find out if I screwed up until the film is developed! Oh well, Ansel (admittedly) did most of his best work in the "darkroom"...now called Photoshop.
