Well, we like MF quite a lot here, if you look at the forums.
We also like 35mm, Large format, and other sundry types of camera.
If you want to talk about digital medium format, you can try DPUG.
Because not all formats come in small, large, extra large. The medium of medium is an exclusive club similar in nature to 35mm and should deserve it's own place.
Roll 'em up and head 'em out!
Yes, I do think that medium format does deserve its own place. A place where there is Rollie TLR forum, Rollie SLR forum, a Yashica TLR forum, Hasselblad SLR forum, and Bronica SLR forums, etc. Would it make a difference if we were more united in a medium format forum and less fractured? Maybe some organized soul would take on the crusade to get Kodak to make runs of 220 film again. Or, maybe if there was a Bronica SLR forum there would be someone who could show me how to make a tool to release an extension tube that won't come off my SQ-Ai body. Maybe the work of someone else would motivate you to get a Pentacon Six with a Sonar lens that breathes new life into your photography.

The problem with APUG/DPUG for me (and I suspect many others) is that I shoot Medium Format film but scan for printing and sharing. Having to read APUG for the topics on operating my camera and DPUG for how I handle the image taken creates a truly bizarre seperation that results in my reading APUG infrequently and posting even less frequently. But I accept that it's a decision that's been made and is not up for discussion. A MF dedicated forum that crossed the film/hybrid/digital frontier would get my support..
If there's really interest in it, I'll host it... I've got a huge server just sitting idle since all my clients keep going out of business...

Hi Jay, you could check here: (there was a url link here which no longer exists)
There are several medium format groups, but nothing in a coherent order. Social groups are run by those who create them. For example you could create a medium format social group that focused on MF gear and hybrid techniques. We leave it up to the owners of the groups to make their own rules. The groups do lack a bit of functionality though but hopefully will improve with the next forum update.
Is the link correct? That is a static html site with many broken links... hardly a thriving community interacting medium format photographers.
