Thats easy -- Holgas cost about 20 bucks and the next least expensive medium format body is... what... $150? =) A Holga is a great way to experiment with 120 without spending hundreds on a body and a lens.
Film versus digital is the same argument as PC versus Mac. It ought to not be about which tool is superior, but which is superior for the job you're trying to get done.
Yes I agree totally in that aspect.
I will concede this:
Digital
High initial investment but long term savings and flexibility.
Low frame rate (even on cameras such as the MKII for $10k)
Excellent quality and experimentation is not an issue at all since its digital and only eats memory space.
Lenses exchange back and forth on most models of SLR and DSLR in the same brand family.
