Absolutely not! I mean, this is a fun camera, and I'm sure that a Rolleiflex would have even better images and would have smoother controls, but it's so big and bulky and cumbersome compared to my 35mm gear. In addition, one can't change lenses with this body, so that makes it even less flexible for my uses and needs. As you know, image quality really isn't a great huge deal to me. So the improvement in image quality from a Yashicamat to Rolleiflex would likely be lost on me. Bottom line is that there's no way that I'd dump any of my 35mm gear no matter how much I improved the quality of my medium format gear. > I am asking that question on purpose...
