I'm seeing a resurgence of people using large format, especially 8x10 (Alec Soth, etc.). And some guys like Chris Jordan who have moved from LF to medium format dslrs. But I among the people I see in shows and contemporary collections, none of them has mentioned a tech cam.*
Which may not mean much ... most people in art interviews don't talk about their gadgets. I'm curious if the work is out there and I just don't know about it, or if there just isn't much. Cost would obviously be a factor ... but artists find ways to get their hands on expensive stuff. Guggenheim fellowships, etc...
*One exception ... my friend Peter Misfeldt who had traded his paint brushes for a Canon a few years back, recently traded his canon for a tech cam and 22mpx aptus. He's getting some attention in Europe.
