Guess that's one reason I look at things the way I do. I have not owned/used any medium format camera, but that is one thing I would like to do in the future. As you said, it sometimes depends on the mindset of the individual behind it. I do have quite a bit of patience and a very big desire to catch the best image possible.

At the same time, there is no way I can afford things like that in a digital form. I have seen mention in other posts that the prices of medium formats seem to be coming down. I may have to see what they are running and try to figure out when I could fit one into the budget.

I think a lot of it has to do completely with the individual. I have seen interviews with a lot of pro nature/wildlife photogs that will only shoot film. Others have made the change to digital. Who's right, who's wrong? I have seen the results of good slides scanned with one of the good scanners made for that side by side with digital and I am still impressed with how the scanned slide images look compared to the digital.
