Well, Bill, I've gotta disagree with you.  Just read the membership roll of
magnum and see all those photogs who use 35mm cameras.  Y'gotta admit. 
I've been fooled all these years.  I thought those jamokes were serious. 
And then there are many, may documentarians that still use 35mm, and
reporters and journalists, and, oh, don't those frivolous fotogs at NG use
35mm ... so, puleeeze!  don't go down that path of pigeonholing photogs or
cameras. 

Truth is, it's the wedding photographers, and the landscape tree and rock
gang that aren't serious <LOL>  Large format is for sissies and wimps who
are afraid to get into the fray, meet people and life head on, and who go
hide in the woods taking pictures of pastel sunsets and creeping lichen,
and who consider a long exposure of a water fall a great challenge.
