There's nothing that matches the bokeh of a Sonnar

Agreed, my 150/4 CT* Sonnar has truly gorgeous bokeh. Only large format can exceed it.

Here's to everyone winning the lottery!!

I'm really curious about MF now and would love to try my hand at it, but the MF camera that I want is a hasselblad H39! That's 10s of thousands...YIKES!!

The studio I work for shot all of our outdoor (beach) portraits with Bronica's right up until this year. For this year we've moved all digital but I LOVED shooting with the Bronica.

In college we were required to shoot Large Format and I *hated* it. Mostly because it was big, bulky, and time consuming. I was really worried when I took this job and found out they shoot Medium format but I ended up loving it. I enjoy shooting digital now, but I still used the Bronica occasionally.

ETA: You can find Bronica outfits pretty reasonably priced on ebay.
