Bigger is not always better :)

For what I do and like, Medium Format is of little use.  I like
spontaneous, hand-held photography, snapshots of family and
friends.  Good results with a minimum amount of difficulty.
A reliable camera that I can carry wherever I go.
I like to show my slides to family and friends, my Greek 
school class, our stereo club.  I like to mix my images with
older Realist slides, historical stereo views, even VM pictures.
I like to compete in club and PSA level.  For my tastes and 
interests, 35mm film rules!

I will consider MF if I see DrDave drop his 35mm toys and
starts shooting Medium Format exclusively. :)
