 Is this just because the film's better, or is it something else about the
camera? Is there medium format film that has a different sort of
emulsion/whatever that you can't find in a 35mm equivalent?

 (presumably darkroom work also changes if the negatives are bigger; easier
because there's more image to see, harder because they're larger so more
unweildy, I would guess -- but again that doesn't really affect me
personally).
