Well, I have been toying with the idea for a year or so now but for some reason I have never done it. Now, more than ever, I feel like I am ready. Maybe it is because I have re-read things I read in the first place to even make me feel this way.
I currently own one of the holy grails of canon's lenses, the 85L. It is a very nice lens but the problem is you have to nearly let the camera focus for you to have any keepers. I have changed out focusing screens and all but it just doesn't do it for me I guess.
So that had me thinking, if that is supposedly one of canon's top tier lens, why the heck am I having such mixed feelings all the time? As I sit here and look at it while I type, it is truly a love hate thing. It allows me to do some wonderful things but then again it sucks.
I guess this was my incentive to read up on medium format and then I said, "why medium and not large?
I think I want to get in rather cheap to see if it fits me. I was thinking something along the lines of a crown 4x5 or such.
To tell you the truth, I have been sick of digital for the past year or so. I dont know why. I guess I just don't really mesh well with it.
The irony behind it all to me is that, while digital may be quicker, it still isn't as reliable or superior to the tride and true way of taking a picture.
So, that is me and how I feel right about now. Before I do anything crazy, I will sleep on it.
