I know I say stupid things like "yea it makes me slow down and think about my picture more" as I shoot my camera that can hit up to 10 frames a second, handheld, sometimes with autobracketing. I like medium format because it is a little more difficult to chug through film like that, but its still not difficult. Well, the medium format cameras I have don't make it very difficult. At least until now. I started with a 6x7 medium format camera. 6x7 being the size of the negative. I sold it. I just got a new camera that again is a 6x7. This beast weighs something like 6-7 pounds and the first trip out with it I couldn't figure out how to make it take a picture without a release cable. Really makes you slow down. So I had my tripod, a really heavy camera I couldn't hand hold, and to top it all off I would have to hit the shutter to bring up the mirror, and then use the cable to take the actual picture (mirror-up photography). Really slowed me down needless to say. I love the thing though!
