When I bought my first medium format camera back in the nineties (Mamiya 645) is was just over a thousand. The lenses were also affordable, and I learned to love medium format cameras.
When I price digital medium format cameras I find that the cheapest one is $10,000. This puts them out of reach for me. I'm buying a new used car for $7,000. What is it about a digital medium format that makes them so much more expensive? They can't really be that much more expensive to manufacture.
For that reason, I'm continuing to shoot film in my 645 and 6-7.
I guess my question is, when do the prices come down?
