I'm doing 80-90% medium and large format film, with the majority of that being medium format. The Fuji was bought to replace the Canon 5D because the 5D was A: getting long in the tooth and the quality of image was lacking in comparison to more modern cameras, and B: hauling it around was an ordeal - it was heavy, as were the lenses for it, plus the flash, plus the vertical grip, etc etc. I did have a Contax G2 plus lenses, and while it was a wonderful system, I had effectively moved away from 35mm film so there wasn't much beyond nostalgia keeping it around.Scott,
Roughly how much digital are you using compared to film? I tend to think of your medium format work / lomo 6x12 / large format, from what you've posted here. Didn't you use a Contax G2 at one point, perhaps the Fuji has replaced this?

That's why I replaced it. And I replaced it with the Fuji because the Fuji weighed a fraction, and cost a fraction, but had significantly better image quality.Canon 5D was blown away by 5D2 and subsequent Canons. fwiw.
I use AF-D (and ais) lenses on film bodies (F4, F801s)
Don, Since you shoot a lot of architecture, you might consider a digital setup with tilts, rise and falls etc.
Still a size up from the F801, but I do take the F4 on vacation, because it's such a nice camera to use. It's a manageable camera, and fits most (larger) camera bags, something that becomes harder with portrait grips.Sorry if going off topic - I also have a F4(s) and F801. The F4s mostly stays on the shelf due to it's bulk, how does the F4 with the MB-20 compare to the F801 ?
Thanks.
