I love the stuff you and Dav are doing and that's partly why, but also i've got the Hassleblad & Yashica Mat seen in the photo that are just sat there idle. Surely that can't be right and I feel almost obliged to get some film for them and take them out for a quick test drive! If that turns out well and I don't frighten myself too much, a step into large format could well be on next years horizon. At least for my landscape work.

I'm seeing more people using film and medium/large format all the time. There was obviously a reason why film worked so well at one point and, especially in landscape photography, people are seeing the advantages again. I've heard of three new large format photographers just this winter and I hope there willl be more (maybe if only that myself and Dav will be running 'beginning large format' workshops!).
