By and large, 35mm IS for amateurs and hobbyists. Each time I do a shoot that involves both my 67 and 35mm, I come a step closer to getting rid of all my 35mm gear. It just doesn't even come close to the image quality that I have come to expect from the medium format, and the digital front is moving so fast on the 35mm world. I can easily see myself shooting digital when I need small and compact and shooting the 67 when I need the image quality.
