Dear Colleagues,
It appears that there's nothing wrong with those of us who still spend hours in the darkroom producing a chemical print. We may decide not to make allowances in our own work.
But as for commercial viability?
Perhaps the web has made people think that 640x480 is high resolution?
Best
Bob

But the fact (and it is a fact) that films can, and did, record (superfluous) fine detail that MUST be missed by a digital sensor [detail - limited] does not go away just because there is a paradigm shift in the way we decide we should look a photos. Sure, large prints on adverstising hoardings are meant to be looked at from 50-m away. But for me the ability to be able to walk right up to my "minimum viewing distance" and make out still more fine detsail - like the tiny guy in the background - adds to not detracts from the image. The fact that with digital sensors he would occupy only a few pixel just removes that ability.
I'm not Bob.
