Several reasons, including speed of set-ups and most important, you
end up having to bring less light (for equal DOF) on location. Isn't
it wonderful that we have such a range of tools available ? I don't
consider the Fuji 680 a MF bargain, unlike the RFs.

I agree that there's a market for a sub 2K MF folder, not a huge
market, but enough to make it worthwhile. It's precisely the kind of
camera OM can outdo anybody at.
