I don’t think it takes very long before new photographers notice the fall-off of light/focus and sense of environment in LF, and even MF. It is a point of envy. You can’t replicate it in post. No megapixel count on a smaller sensor will recreate it, and high quality full-frame CMOS sensors are already pricey as they are. It seems that in this realm, film remains king.
