The original Monochrom was the first camera I had that beat Hasselblad for 
sharpness and tonality, the S range is better still....

Though a very nicely scanned medium format neg might make remind of how less 
great full frame digital is.
If not a 6x6 than certainly a 6x9 or 4x5.
I'm just saying that full frame digital seems like a holy grail which seems 
much better than just putting a D in front of a 35mm SLR.
But acreage is acreage. Digital or film. The informat gathered by a Zeiss 
medium format lens onto modern emultions with informeaed processing might be 
hard to beat unless you're also going so called medium format in digital as 
well.

    ?I did finally sell off my Rollei GX a few years ago, but I still cannot
    part with my SL66, which was my main film camera for a number of years.? 
 I
    still have all the 120 film processing equipment and darkroom, but I 
doubt
    I'll ever go back.  Nonetheless, if nostalgia becomes too strong, I just
    might dust it off, if for no other reason than to remind myself how
    excellent today's top digital "full frame 35mm" cameras are, particularly
    with top Leica glass on them.
