It takes som difital camera to actually compete with medium format, I guess. At least I just did a groupt portrait (27 persons) with a 6x6 camera. I could not have dione this with my *ist D. Perhaps some Canon may have been able to compete. But 6MP jsut isn't enough. BTW, I'm bidding for a Schneider Xenotar 80mm lens at the moment for 6x6 - one of the finest 80mm lenses ever made, I believe. So I for one still believe in film/MF - at least for people with a rather imited budget.

Its been a long time.

Every picture of you is when you were younger. "...Here's a picture of me when I'm older." Where'd you get that camera man? - Mitch Hedberg
