I would appreciate the image quality of digital MF, I'm sure.  But ...

That's one of the big issues.  Given the economies of scale in electronics, I think the price/performance gap between the DSLR and digital MF will be much higher than in the mechanical days.  Right now, it doesn't look like it's justified for the type of photography I do.

Also, I got real tired of hiking with my heavy Rollei SL66 outfit.  Something about age ...

Additionally, I'm a huge fan of tilts.  The Hasselblad system looks like a real kluge.  I'm suspicious my Canon 90 TS can outshoot it.

Finally, with MF I missed the ability to buy a variety of new lenses, which I find a source of creativity.  A new toy -- I mean tool -- causes me to get out to see what it and the new perspective it allows can do.
