I use a film 6X6 Rollieflex for Black and White photos because digital will never be able to replicate a silver oxide print for the look of the shadows.

I used a Koni Omega with 2 extra backs for wedding photography. It was a great camera and easy to handle. Still have it!

Mamiya RB67 Pro S with way too many lenses. Two Mamiya C330 F. Obtained all used in wonderful shape over the past year from US and Japan. Learning to use them all and enjoying it very much.
A fun trip back to film.

Mamiya 645, Pentax 67, and Yachica 645. Loved them all. Still have the Pentax and the Yashica. Bought the Yashica in 1968.

I owned a C330, but used a number of others for short periods. A friend bought everything under the sun from Hassy to Rollei. He left them at my house and whichever he decided to use for a month he told his wife he borrowed from me. She thought I was rich and wondered why they were so poor. Eventually his business took off and he wound up rich and I'm not. :(

And - the lesson you learnt by this ... was ... ?

A DSLR, or was it a film camera?

Yes, and I use them on a regular basis!

I still have three versions of the Pentax 645.
I fact I'll be using one in a couple of days at a wedding.
A friend of mine is marrying a "mail order" bride from the Philippines.
Immigration services said to have some photos shot ON FILM to prove they got married.
The argument is that a digital image can be manipulated, but a film negative is a solid proof.

The pictures are no proof, the marriage license/certificate is!!

Yes, but why would you want to go mirror-less in a Medium Format Camera?

Typically, one used to shoot slower with medium format- (though I did shoot some high school football with my RB).
I suspect now days some will probably be tethered, looking at an LCD screen anyway.
I don't have any issues looking at a good eye-level electronic viewfinder.
Olympus, Sony and Fuji's electronic viewfinders are really nice.
With my Fuji X100s, half the time I had to check whether I was in optical or electronic view.
