Wow- a portable, reliable camera, a widely available, projectable format and
the ability to mix your images with vintage views and VM pictures - are you
sure you aren't describing a View-Master camera?
Your points about the advantages of 35mm are all good ones.  I don't yet own
an MF camera, and I often tell myself the same things while being blown away
by the sheer magnificence of the medium format slides taken on $250 cameras
that folks bring to the 3rd Friday dinners in NYC.  Jim Harp
