Anthony,

The people that are using digital Canon D1's, Sinar backs on
Sinars and Hasselblads write that few of their old lenses can
cope with the quality of the sensors. People that cling to their
old set of lenses and postpone the purchase of a digital system
as it means they have to buy new lenses may be disappointed when
the system that fits their lenses in the end also reveals that
their old lenses are not good enough.
So being loyal to a brand for economic reasons may not be so wise
at this revolution in photography

No experience myself but enough threads on that subject for
example on the Wide Format list the past days.
