Sold my canon 7D in tuesday! Since I got hooked on APUG and RFF, I did indeed get some MF stuff. And did get a Hasselblad with zeiss glass! And an RZ67 II. And loads of film. Much of the gear from this very forum. But TUMS(tomorrow's unfortunate money situation) has recently relieved the GAS.

That is quite a cash vacuum you have created for the purposes of having a paperweight. Why not just sell the stuff you don't use? The less you shoot something, the fewer great prints you make with it, and the less money you make with it, the more expensive it is per unit of productivity.

For my real pictures I use either a Mamiya RB67 or a Fuji GW690. But I can't stop myself! In the last three months I have bought a Bessa R2S (new), a Canon P and a Kiev 2. Why oh why?

Digital for what?

I Shoot in film by personal choice - for my personal work (or special professional productions): film, for clients: digital - and they love the results.

But all is a gratification question, how we feel the process. And for these approaching i need to shoot with RF cameras - like mine Leica M6 and Konica Hexar RF.

Long live film!

A digital lightmeter is a 1 pixel digital camera ?

In view of Sirus Glass's perceptive comments I recommend you buy a Nikon 35mm camera, a couple or all of the ZF.2 Zeiss lenses and then rather than buying a MF camera, save money and buy a 5x4 camera instead with three "international" film backs: 6x7 (for portraiture), 6x9 (for landscape) and 6x12 for authentic panoramas and half a dozen DDs's (double dark slides) for making 5x4 transparencies using Velvia 50 (also known as Redvia, to those in the know...)

Only when you've drooled over a 5x4 trannie can you really appreciate why digital is just soooooo uncool.

Now for some lenses to drool over....
