I have been doing some MF with a borrowed Spud. I will be buying two MF 
cameras when the budget allows. However, at this point in time it will 
be in addition to and not in replace of 35mm stereo. Here are a few of 
the reasons for me:

1) Not enough people to share with - both those taking MF and those 
that have the equipment to view my work.

2) No exhibitions to enter.

3) No projectors for single dual aperture mounts.

4) No quality dedicated stereo cameras.

5) Cost of everything - film, cameras, mounts, viewers, etc. - is all 
higher with MF.

And the number one reason for me - no live action macro stereo.

As soon as these things are met I would gladly sell all my RBT 
equipment and go soley with MF.

That's all for now,
