So who buys Hasselblads anyways?

[iflynething]

sure, they're used in fashion photography as well... My wife loves "America's Next Top Model" or whatever it's called.

You say that like you don't REALLY don't watch it with your wife You know EXACTLY what it's called!

I'm not a pro, but I shoot mostly medium format because it allows me so much more opportunity to create that perfect image in post-process.

Medium format digital is expensive, but medium format film is very affordable these days, and you get the IQ of 40-60 megapixels AND twice the dynamic range.

Yup, I shoot both RB and Hassy, for a general carry around system the Hassy is the clear winner, but for image quality and sheer real estate, the RB wins hands down.

Shooting film and processing my own b&w/C41 and scanning gives me huge, highly detailed files, and the ability to print either to a Frontier or Chromira, or conventionally. In addition, you get an accepted archival master (negative).
