Ahrgh,
You know how to speak to me David!
Well all joke put aside, a development for a 120 film cost the price for a
development of a 135 format in slides.
And after you need to pay for the enlargements, usually 18cm x 18cm of the
best pix, 2 or 3 in a roll.
Er, I'm a complete newbie here, learning curve is steep!
The price for the (spring) roll of film is as expensive in 120 than in 135
(brand I use is the Fuji special 150 ASA color paper, used by the wedding
photog)
Never the less, the square gormat is pleasant to use, fun, even. Novelety,
pure novelty....
Regards.

Nothing wrong with M-F, Xavier!
However, the film costs are higher than 35mm and the choices are fewer.
Resolution of even the best M-F lenses will not equal a good 35mm, but then
they don't need to, as the magnification factor is much lower for a given
size print.
My complaints with M-F is the cost (though used gear is becoming very, very
reasonable) and the size/weight. An R8 w/motor and/or DM-R is bad enough!
Perhaps one day, when I'm feeling masochistic, I'll dig out my old Sept
35mm movie/still camera w/spring-wound motor. It takes low grade photos
while building your muscles! iT Must weigh 4 kilos (almost 10 lbs)!
OTOH, maybe I'll stick with my Leicas (an occasionally, a Canon 20DWas with
a Leica lens mounted!). :-)
Cheers!
