With the price of film cameras so low, I have moved into MF by picking up a Hassy kit and two Rollei TLRs. My Rollei are a 2.8F Planar and a 2.8D Xenotar. The Rolleis immediately went out for CLAs and new Maxwell screens. Of course then I had to upgrade my film scanner to take MF, ouch. Hey, life is short and its only money.
