> But then digital happened and both lenses and sensors outgrew anything analog.

maybe if you can afford an 80MP digital back with MF lenses? i still prefer 35mm compared to full-frame sensors but i'm more after latitude and colour rendition than sharpness.

God, I'd love to have a digital back for a medium format camera. But those are incredibly expensive, there's no way I can justify that.

if you live 35mm film you'll love medium format. It's much more forgiving due to less enlargement when printing, the trade off is that the equipment is large (although some of the fuji rangefinders aren't that much bigger than modern 35mm SLRs).

i work with MF too. im just saying the argument of "digital came and made analog irrelevant" doesn't really apply for me where I personally prefer 35mm over digital, let alone MF where you have "megapixels for days"
