Since buying the digital medium format Pentax 645Z in 2015, I haven't looked back on full frame 35mm cameras. Yes, there is a constant debate that you "can't tell" the difference between the image quality between a medium format, 35mm full frame and even APS-C cameras, but that also isn't the point. I've written before how a camera *makes you feel* is just as important in how you produce images.

My kit consists of 2 645Z bodies, 35mm f/3.5, 55mm f/2.8, and 90mm f/2.8. I go over the Pros and Cons of this camera but here's the table of contents:
