He sells stock motion picture and video. Actually, when my customers ask for medium or large format, I tell them it will cost them double as I have to rent and insure this equipment. Only 1 in 10 agree. All of a sudden, 35mm will do just fine! I'm not going to be investing to medium and large format equipment if people are not willing to pay for it.
