For taking portraits of people, strangers in particular, they have no idea how a LF camera works, so they are always sort of off guard and don't do their usual "it's a photo" pose. I like doing portraiture of strangers quite a bit, and if you carry around a LF camera, people will stop you and ask you about it. Then you take their picture. And it's awesome because they don't think you are a creep, because they stopped you, not vice versa.
Also, it's just fun to look through ground glass. Much more pleasurable than a viewfinder.
Developing and scanning suck ass to me. That I could do without.
