Definitely I see the ability to scan negatives and do post- processing in software as a major positive point.

I have checked out several medium format cameras and may buy soon. And I would also have to buy again all my developing equipment.

I lived for many years in Cairo. And there it was increasingly difficult to buy film of any type. And it could only be developed by bringing back to UK. A major disincentive.

At the moment I have a roll of film in my Leica M3 which would be my trip back in time.

I will keep my eyes open for a medium format camera - but I see with Fuji and Hasselblad having made "medium format" digital it may be just a matter of time before this becomes the professional and serious amateur choice.
