>>One other question, is it my imagination or are 35mm's so far more
advanced with technology than medium(sorry if this sound ignorant, I'm
fairly new to this game)? Why is that? And also, why do they cost so much
more for less technology? I really don't get it, maybe you can help!>>
It's not your imagination <g>.
MF cameras are made in very small volumes. Also they are marketed to
professionals, who may use them heavily; therefore they are built to a
higher level of quality than 35mm amateur cameras. Note that I said
_amateur_, because if you compare _pro_ 35mm to MF, there is not always as
big a difference. For example, a Nikon F5 with a lens will cost about
$2500. For about that, one can get a new Hasselblad 500CM with lens and
back, or a Pentax 67, a Mamiya 645, or several others.
Because 35mm handles faster, you may get _more_shots with a 35mm camera.
However, if your subjects tend to be static, you will get _better_ shots
with medium format.
