I still have my Hasselblad and RZ67 with quite a few lenses. I hear film might be making a come back. I still have some film frozen. I think composing a shot is easier with larger format cameras.
Not me, but I am in the process of photographing a lot of old medium and 4x5 negatives, including many that I have already scanned and/or darkroom enlarged. I'm down to just two film cameras, a Mamiya 330 set with virtually all lenses and accessories, and a near mint 4x5 Wisner field camera with lots of accessories. I am getting ready to discard my darkroom equipment, can't even give it away in the era of the Covid. I will keep trying to find someone around here to give or sell the cameras to, hopefully some high school or college student. I really want to avoid having to pack and ship the stuff.
As much as I enjoyed working in the darkroom for many years, I just don't have the energy or time to do that any more and have happily converted to the digital/Photoshop age. If there were affordable 4x5 digital backs available perhaps that could get me back to using the camera at least.
Oops, I forgot. Someone gifted me recently with a near mint working Canon AE-1 Program with the 50mm f1.8 lens, an old Vivitar 80-200 and a few accessories. I gotta find someone around here to give it all to.
