Not so fast!  The problem is a lack of color *print* film in medium
format.  Provia 400F, 100F, and Ektachrome E200, all slide films
available in medium format, are as good as anything available in 35mm
print films for astrophotography, at least in my opinion.

BTW, if you decide to try medium format, the Pentax 67 may be easier to
use than the RB.  It's certainly used far more for astrophotography,
judging from the members of this list.

And welcome to the APML, J.
