What is "medium format"?

Medium format refers to a type of photography that uses larger film or sensor sizes than standard 35mm format but smaller than large format. Medium format typically involves film sizes such as 6x6 cm, which is around 2.4x2.4 inches, or digital sensors of similar dimensions. This format is known for its high image quality, greater detail, and wider dynamic range, making it popular for professional photography, including portrait, fashion, and landscape work.
