You really get beat the image quality. Personally I love it. Medium Format is great. I recommend a Mamiya. I think the 6x7 for is more versatile plus the quality of the lens and camera is equal to Hasselbald in my opinion but at half the cost. With practice Large Format becomes a fairly quick process.

View cameras are slow to set up and use but they are the best type of cameras to use for elaborate still life or landscape photography. I must admit I've been too lazy to drag mine out, process the film... etc etc etc. Digital cameras just make things too accessible. Not to mention no real wait time before I can share my images. As for medium format, look into a nice used Hasselblad maybe. I got a used 500C kit off ebay for around $500. The original ones are all handmade and built like a tank. Keep Shooting!

It's a lot of fun if you have a lifetime to spare. I shoot a DLSR these days, but I’ve played around with 4×5 in the past. It’s a lot of fun if you have a lifetime to spare.
