MF maybe have heritage in astronomy and landscapes but it was film, which had no moire issues. Nowadays i would guess it is mainly used for commercial, fashion, high end art and product photography. I believe that if there would be many problems with it, there would be models with and without AA filter in MF world or some aftermarket mods at least. I shoot with high res cameras for a long time and my P65+ have over 50k photos count on it so i believe i would see the problems if they would exist.
Sorry, I meant MF digital (I\'m a child of the digital age, film is something I only saw the tail end of as something mainstream. We have people at university now who have never used a film camera except for its own sake, not because it was the normal tool, and some who don\'t know what a cassette is or know that vinyl can be used by more than DJs)
Film doesn\'t have moire because film doesn\'t do discrete sampling. It\'s inherent to the way film works. The only things that film and digital sensors really share is that we use them to make an image from incident light.
I also agree with you WRT the problems it generates. Moire happens. But we do things that mitigate it when it appears, and the benefits of MF digital outweigh that small inconvenience, and the negative effects of the mitigation are not enough to overcome the benefits of MF digital.
