For the readers who may drop in thinking there might be some value to the question, the high end Canons and Nikons are fully capable tools chosen by professionals and advanced amateurs because they do the job. In comparing them to a medium format camera, there is more overlap in the real world than people think. For many applications some pros shoot one, other pros shoot the other and customers happily pay for either. As Fhotoace pointed out, you don’t really want to shoot sports with a Hassie and the idea of using one for a working photojournalist is absurd. If I’m going to shoot food, architectural, or aireal assignments, then you are in medium to large format arena.

Toys, hardly. But then again, you’ve never demonstrated that you knew what you are talking about.

ttpawpaw - you answer very capably regarding pain. Clear, concise, germane answers and you don’t overstep yourself. Kudos. I wish everyone did that, but here, you’re out of your element.

MM is a very accomplished photographer.
Fhotoace is also an accomplished photographer.
Jtc I only know by their posts, but they seem knowledgeable.
I also only know Death by his posts. He’s less knowledgeable than some, but easily knowledgeable enough to be on point here. If he posts a link sometime, I would be interested in seeing his work.

That’s four people posting, all of whom made on point comments. Two of them I know to be accomplished professionals. So who were you referring to? With the only possible referrants for your comment being them as I write this, you have just demonstated what happens when you step to far away from what you are competent to comment on.

You are probably absolutely right about Cedric as far as anyone can tell.
