Why Shooting Large Format Makes it So Hard to Go Back to 35mm

Nagaoka Seisakusho Ultralight

After shooting 35mm for a number of years I was always intrigued by the higher resolution, richer images produced by medium format cameras. I was a sucker for that ratio you get from a 6x7 negative too but after seeing Joel Meyerowitz’ book Between the Dog and Wolf, my intrigue in larger formats began to build instead.

Why go medium when you can go large I thought? So I took the plunge, started researching eBay and the Large Format Photography forum (a great resource) and managed to find a kit for sale. . thephoblographer.com
