actually, i was amazed at how good a reasonably priced MF rig can be. now, besides a p6x7, i got myself a rolleicord tlr for well under $200, as a rugged inexpensive travel camera giving me kick-ass pictures. for sheer image quality per buck it's hard to beat. for non-professional use i find it difficult to understand why people are paying kilo$ for high end 35mm slr systems.
as a side effect of my plunge into MF, all of a sudden i found i no longer care about who will come up with which digital camera anymore. ...although there's one cool thing i'd love to have in digital: uploading pics on my home server via cellular uplink. if someone come up with this setup, i may reconsider. > see http://medfmt.8k.com/mf/budget.html for budget buy ideas, > mf/value.html on best buys etc.... > > at the pro end, an article by Keppler in pop photo was surprised to find > that the pentax 67 SLR kit was the cheapest street price rig among pro > kits (nikon F5, Canon EOS, Hasselblad, Rolleiflex...).
