Medium format is a film format in still photography. Generally, the term applies to any film size between 35 mm and large format (4"×5" or more) sheet film and to the type of camera that uses the format. Due to the higher image resolution offered by the larger film size, the majority of medium-format users are professional photographers who often require fine image detail, but the format is also favoured by many amateur enthusiasts.
Characteristics
The main draw to medium format is that, because of its increased film size (around three to four times bigger than 35 mm), it offers much higher image resolution. This allows for relatively big enlargements and smooth gradation without the grain or blur that would characterize similarly enlarged images produced from smaller film formats. While large-format film used in view cameras offer greater film size and higher resolution still, they generally lack the versatility and convenience of a medium-format camera due of their bulky size and relatively awkward processes.
