Well if a medium format 60x60mm camera has an 80mm lens on it that lens is 
not a telephoto lens like it is on a 35mm camera. Its a standard normal for 
medium format film square!  No cropping comes into play. (The diagonal of 
60x60mm is pretty close to 80mm.)
Digital medium formats are a tad smaller than film medium formats cameras so 
they cost less than a million dollars. And more people buy them.
But with this gorgeous to die for GFX100 I am overwhelmed by the idea of 
shooting with over a hundred megepixies!
But maybe I should really be overwhelmed by the fact that it's made with 
physically way bigger sized medium format sensor? (33 ? 44mm)
A combination of both would be the smart opinion. I'd both be right!
Costing only $9,999.00 here in New York!  
And you though you'd have to spend ten grand for a medium format digital 
camera!?
