Well said Bill

The day that someone comes out with a digital "insert" with the variable
format that I have, and is the same size as my zoom back, I will jump on it,
even if it is in the tens of thousands . . . but it also has to be truly a
portable and single shot device, not held together with life-support and
umbilical cables that drag all over the universe (and also with their
interconnects and adapters usually costing thousands of extra). Until that
time, at least in "large" medium format to large format, nothing can beat
film.
