These are really good points...unfortunately...my family is all over the
world and photos are now seen as jpegs on web pages and attached to
email...so I have to deal with the digital overhead.

I think I'm about to buy a medium format and give that another try...in the
past I haven't liked the inconvience of MF...but I've got several
recommendations for the Mamiya 7II given my shooting preferences (handheld
available light and mobile)...I'm going to rent one for a week long shoot in
a couple of weeks.  Just got a 7000 to do BW work and would like to be able
to exploit the extra real estate.
