Systems that I Own
Medium format is the Goldilocks of the camera world; not to big and not too small. 35mm excels in  many areas including long lenses, high speed lenses, blazingly fast motor drives and exceptional autofocus, not to mention Image Stabilized lenses, and underwater housings. Large format excels in ultimate image quality and movements, though at the price of bulk and slow operation.
While I use 35mm gear extensively for those applications where its capabilities are required I don't do much large format any more. The reason is that for any size enlargement that I care to make, medium format with today's lenses and film offers exceptional image quality.
