P�l, I used to have this problem all the time until I realized I was missing shots debating which camera to use. This really hit home on a trip to New York last summer when I was constantly reframing shots with both the MF and the 35mm. The whole experiance made be reevaluate how I use 35mm. Now I would say I shoot medium format 80% of the time the execption being snap shots and when I go out to try shoot macros. In a dream world my bag would look like this 645n II a couple of nice lenses; maybe the zooms, a K1000 with the 645 to K adapter and maybe the fish-eye zoom or the 100mm macro. That would give two cameras three lenses in a managable package for walking around. Just maybe I would keep a rangefinder in my pocket just in case. If your like me the more you shoot MF the more you find the quality of 35mm to be unacceptable.
