Sean Tucker made this interesting video about the “medium format look”, which he defines as wide with shallow DoF. He shows how to recreate it with FF and APS-C by taking multiple shots and sticking them together. I’ve never really thought about this, so I found it really interesting.

As seen on internet. Format discussion.
Is Medium Format worth it? (Canon R6)
I'm asking:
Is Full Frame worth it? (APS-C)
Is APS-C Format worth it? (MFT)
Is MFT Format woth it? (1 inch)

I have a chance to acquire one of these at about $100US. I've heard of the good quality of Zeiss Ikonta cameras. The seller assures me he's run several rolls of film (120?) through it and gotten good results.

The past few weeks have been spent cleaning out old storage areas and accumulated photography items from the past 40 or so years. I sold off some 4X5 systems, some duplicate lenses, and some stuff that I didn't think anyone wanted - but somebody did!
I've invested the proceeds in building a...
