One of the reasons I enjoy Medium Format, besides the wonderful people and awesome images on this forum, is the whole "problem-solving" thing. It strikes me, as I get older, that I really prefer things that are not easy because easy is boring. Problem-solving makes me feel more alive than ever and to make things even better, it allows me to actually enjoy lateral thinking as opposed to the vertical thinking that used to be hammered into my brain through multiple universities.
Part of my lateral-thinking is "whatever it takes". I have recently gone back to film in a big way with multiple formats. The Hasselblad 503cxi, as inexpensive as it is compared to the equipment used on this forum, requires a whole different skill set, and I find the process relaxing.
With my schedule this past year, I am just now getting around to processing some 120 film images and I find that the comparison with the H5D is interesting because the images are complementary, not comparable at all. The two cameras with 80mm lenses yield entirely different images, each with its own character and charm. Apologies for lower resolution... could not get it up to 300 for some reason... LOL, another problem to solve.
