For many photographers owning a Medium Format camera is the ultimate dream. For years, we've been wowed by magical Medium Format cameras, but unless you owned your own bank, they were simply out of reach for the masses.
It really wasn't long ago when we were dreaming of mainstream cameras having sensors that packed over 30 megapixels.
