Medium Format Landscape

[speckled wood]

A couple of years ago I purchased a Bronica Medium Format SLR promising that I would try my hand at landscapes using 120 film .... as yet I have never used the camera, jsut wondering if anyone here is still using good old film on medium format? I have a little pervious experience with the format from years ago using an old Microcord TLR.

Recently joined my local photographic society, seems not many people are using film these days as many have converted to digital.

Film has its plus points , quality is one. But as digital is constantly improving is it a dying medium.

regards canny.

I bought a mamiya 645 secondhand last year and use 120 from time to time , mostly when a client needs very large files as a 120 tranny drum scanned gives the equivalent of about 20-30MP. I also ocasionally use it for moody B+W

Thanks. the B + W does appeal to me, twenty years ago I used the Microcord mostly for trains and buses (very sad) but the colour slides that survive have a magic and awe inspiring quality even now. For a "dying" medium the prices that medium format cameras make on ebay is still awe inspiring. Interesting that the Mamiya "Medium Format" digital camera uses a 22mp sensor.
