In discussing MF I haven't meant to imply that 35mm is a waste of time - I
do all my shooting in 35mm for many of the reasons mentioned previously, but
MF slides do bring tears to my eyes (luckily the large lenses in the Saturn
Viewer facilitate viewing through tears.)

Why not be religious about it?  3D photography is a labor of love for most
of us. (I'm not getting rich on it, that's for sure)  For all of it's
complications and disadvantages, the lure of MF is the unique viewing
experience it provides.  Look for the guy in the red suit at Mesa and check
out some MF slides - that's the only workshop needed.  Jim Harp
