Well, I'm about quitting MF

On to full-time LF! However, now MF hardware seems so _portable_ and small
that I'm likely to throw a SWC in the pack for snapshots.

I guess the question is why, for me both serve opposite
purposes. If one wanted to ditch the MF gear, one could just
buy a roll film back and use the LF all the way.

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President,
or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong,
is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable
to the American public."--Theodore Roosevelt, May 7, 1918

Interesting, though.
MF is the ideal format: not the weight and bulk of LF, image quality as good
as you could possibly need 99.9999% of the time.
So if anything should be abandoned, i would think it would be LF. Except for
those movements...

Still, i guess even that (movements) hasn't stopped many former LF
photographers to use LF less and less. It would seem as if PS and software
like it are quite capable of doing some "perspective correction".
I know, it's not the same thing. Not by far. But it is fooling enough people
so that other people can stop hauling MF gear. ;-)

You may want to consider a Russian folding camera! They're small, light, and
have good lenses.
