    Lot of truth in those words. But it allows many of us to be considered smart

    I came back to 35mm after 5 years or so shooting digital and I am very happy with my Nikon F90X, really is a great camera, but for years i've wanted to try medium format.
    So, I grabbed what I think was a super bargain, the Bronica ETRS with 75mm, WLF and speed grip all in superb conidition for £175.
    From the excitement of loading the film for the first time to the truly awesome view through the WLF (even with the left/right being the wrong way round),, and mastering a little twist of the wrist to correct the horizon I just knew it worth worth the years of waiting.
    I made the right decision in buying medium format, it just feels so right.
    I'll have to buy a light meter though, today i used the f16 rule (and my nikon for reference)
    Oh, thankyou to APUG, without which i would struggle to share my experience of film in a world dominated by digital.

    Jon,

    This is the meter I've been using lately. The price is right too. http://www.fredparker.com/ultexp1.htm

    Don't waste your time on these guesstimate methods or consipracy theories. Get a real meter.
    There's nothing mysterious about these thingies. It's dead easy to get perfect results using one.
