I had to buy a medium format system and a digi system for my photography program. it's a two year commercial degree, but it's like second to brooks in the states. but i spent 4 grand on my mamiya system. and then 3 on my digital setup. We also have 4x5 for check out, which is dope because large format is sick. We shoot only film our first year though, so it gets pretty costly, but film is still better than digital, so it's good to know both. next year we shoot mostly with leaf digital backs for the medium format camera, and that's dope. i love it.
