Re:[APML] Future of medium format films

["Nicola" <nmontec@libero.it>]

>        it seems the end of 35 mm format films for astrofoto will come soon
(Kodak finished with Tech Pan and I think others will follow), but what do you
think about the future of 120 format films. Im asking because Im not sure if its
worth to buy equipment for medium format astrophoto in this moment (field
flattener, medium format camera, scanner). 
>        I think middle format films may stay longer because of the prices of
big format CCD chips. 

Hello Radek,

I am personally moving toward medium format film, it is a slow change actually
because I had very few nights out and didn't test the medium format equipment
enough well yet, but I guess I'm ready for the jump starting from the next
available new moon. I'll probably sell my 35mm equipment and save it for a
future digital camera body purchase. I just hope I can keep using medium format
films for at least 2-3 years.

Regards,
Nicola
