Hello and Welcome ## Purpose of this Blog

This blog is for discussing and exhibiting Astrophotography made with Medium Format cameras and lenses.

So - Film or Digital?
Both, of course!
But Film is where the best value is to be found these days. In the stampede from 35mm film to digital, people have lost sight of the fact that enough film real estate (medium or even large format) will still image a given area of sky with more detail than digital.

In this blog we will discuss the pros and cons of both film and digital. Examples and opinions are particulary welcome.

I will also advise on the Medium Format gear that I have found to be best for the job. Reviews and user opinions will feature often.

And remember folks, it's a hobby, it's all about pleasure.
