#1. Why aren't there more SLR type medium format cameras with interchangeable lens systems? I guess the real question is why they still look so old and boxy? Certainly you could build a modern body like and oversized 35mm body for them now? I have seen one or two (from contax and fuji?) And of course the Pentax 6x7.
#2. Why did the big names (Canon, Nikon, Minolta) stay away from medium format? No market to match 35mm?
#3. Why did no one else step up to the plate with cheapo entry level (so to speak) medium format cameras like, dare I say it, Holga (please don't hurt me! )
Just getting the 6x6 bug now and have lots of questions like this :roll:
