I explain why I think you should try medium format if you shoot 35mm film.
This video talks about the advantages of medium format and what additional gear you may need.
In the video I left out the 4.5 x 6 format, sometimes referred to 645. It produces an image 1 5/8 x 2 1/4 and you get 15 exposures on a roll of 120. Mamiya, Pentax, Contax, Bronica and others produced cameras in this format.
