The question for comparing MF and smaller formats is perhaps that can I accept the quality of smaller format or do I have to have the larger format? Of course there is horses for courses and long fast tele shooting like wildlife and sports is so much easier with 35mm or digital smaller. Myself, I simply tell myself I don't do those things that can be better done with 35mm. My main question that I always have to ask, is do I need MFD or can I accept the different quality of MF film. Mostly I switch back and forth, sometimes I enjoy MFD with 22Mpix back and then I remember my lovely MF film gear and start using that again, for nostalgic reasons. But one thing that I seem to have problems with is 35mm Film or Digital. Simply it does not feel adequate and I crave for MF.
My best camera is the mighty Fuji GX680, but what a workout to carry in the woods. I have some backup GX680 gear and I wait for the 6x7 or 6x8 digital sensor. Will it be possible to manufacture such a sensor cost effective in the future ? I don't know but taking into account how fast computer CPU:s are advancing there is at least some hope left. A scanning back would be adequate. But in my lifetime ? I don't know but wait.
My point and shoot camera is Mamiya 645AF and the AF performance is really adequate compared to the focusing process with the Fuji GX680. But I miss the Fujis 8x8 ground glass and loupe.
