the pano aspect itselft isn't at fault, if the users use it because they are after a specific look depicting space then good for them
it's the "wow pano means cinematic" crowd that are obnoxious

Don’t get the point of this thing. Either use a view camera with a 6x12 or 6x17 back or something dedicated to medium format panoramas. This doesn’t really even meet medium format quality. Also you’ll end up using tripods 90% of the time anyways so might as well use a larger camera

Medium format "quality" is a meme and 95% of people shooting it aren't scanning it well enough to achieve any quality beyond a lab scanned 35mm frame. Fuji and Noritsu lab scanners literally scan 35mm at a higher resolution than 120 because of the way the CCDs are designed physically and most people aren't paying $50 per neg to use prepress flatbeds or drum scanners to scan their snapshits. Not to mention the resolving limitations of the shitty 50 year old glass you're limited to when you invest in a medium format system.

Medium format is a status signal for hipster film nerds that think they're not "analog" enough by shooting 35mm, the next step being large format but luckily that is too autistic even for most film dorks.

There is a reason none of the new Kodak film stocks are coming out in 120. 120 will be lucky to exist in 5 years.

It's a pretty hot take but it's mostly true.
If high quality scanning was more accessible to plebs it might be a different story.
I can get awesome results from medium format with stitched DSLR scans, but even I feel like it's too much trouble most of the time, considering the quality I can get out of carefully shot 35mm using modern glass and films scanned with the same setup.

It's definitely a hot take.

A few things: the look of MF is just different, regardless of scan quality. Also, it's not too difficult to get a great MF scan, and when you do it absolutely blows away 35mm.

Re: glass. Lenses have progressed, sure, but not to the point where more recent 120 systems like 'blad, bronica, and fuji are anywhere near obsolete.

So you're only partially wrong.

It's a 35mm rangefinder (with the size and usability benefits that come with that over, say, a view camera or medium format panoramic camera) that shoots in a panoramic aspect ratio. Unlike most 35mm "panoramic" cameras, it actually shoots the full width of the 35mm film strip instead of just cropping a 24x36 frame down. So, not really medium format quality, but you get legit 35mm quality across a longer frame size.

It makes for a great street photography camera. Changing the aspect ratio changes the way you view the world and that lets you get different pictures than people shooting regular 2:3 aspect ratios.

Thing is, most people don’t use a dedicated film scanner even for 35mm.
In that case the difference in resolution and graininess is pretty noticeable, between 35mm and medium format, when scanned with a flatbed.

Also you forget printing.
Medium format can print big and smooth/brainless, and enlargers are cheap.

I shoot MF because I enjoy my pictures on my wall. The difference in a big print between 35mm and 120 is just something you have to see for yourself.

Higher ISO film as 120 is just so much cleaner too as the size of th grain stays the same but the actual film area is larger.

It’s from the mask at the film back, to create a square image on the film and also leave some space on top and bottom for the film markings (type, frame number, etc.).
Why they didn’t make it a perfect square I don’t know. Maybe it’s easier to manufacture this way? And since it doesn’t affect the image they just let it be this way.

It’s not supposed to be in the final photo though. I just didn’t get to editing those shots yet, I only run them through a resize script.

May sound weird, but is there a way to expand the film back corners to get full coverage of the film kind of like a sprocket film camera?

Yeah if you’re ok with filing down the mask at the back.
You don’t get much space though (less than in 35mm) it any cool effect, cause there are no sprocket holes.

Just because people are too lazy to do the scanning work doesn't mean medium format quality is in any way less.
Everyone can get their own drum scanner for around a thousand dollar these days. If you aren't scanning your own film it is a meme for sure. If all one does is shoot film, send it to a lab and then post it to instagram there is no discernable difference over shooting digital to me, aside from the different camera system.

Well the difference is that their wb, focus and exposure is usually fucked and they can just accept it as the aesthetic because they think that film makes photography unpredictable and lomo.
And people who shoot film with technical competence are so few and far between that that assumption is never challenged, so they still get treated like special snowflakes for doing a shit job.

CoolScan? That's cute. I guess that's good if you're just starting out but I'm a little deeper in the scanning game. I'd never pay the ridiculous hipster tax for a consumer level scanner like the CoolScan that can only do 35mm and 120, especially considering the fucked colors the CoolScans turn out.

I use a scanner you've probably never heard of and I'd rather not namedrop because the prices are still really good on them and I'd like to buy another, but we're talking 8x10 at true 6,000DPI.
