Digital BW, The Print

This is the main reason why I have not experimented with LF.  Once I've
tried that, everything else will look unacceptable, and currently I can't
afford the time or film costs of LF, and I have no way to scan it (if I
can't scan it, I can't use it).

Once I tried MF, 35mm looked fuzzy.  And 35mm makes digital look like a toy
camera.  So I can imagine what would happen if I tried shooting large
format.

Additionally, as you point out, LF doesn't have the convenience of 35mm.
But once you've shot a larger format, you tend to lust for it in _all_
photos, not just the photos for which it can be practically used.  So
everything less looks a bit disappointing in comparison, no matter what the
shooting situation.
