What a load of baloney. I really love where he does a 4x5 scan comparison to an unnamed 'multi megapixel' camera. What ever happened to apples and apples? Between the misinformation that Ken and luminous landscape print it's no wonder people are confused. My favorite bit is where he chides others for their film/dig comparisons while his is the worst example I've seen to date. What a crock... I shoot 4x5, 2 1/4, 1Ds, 1Ds MKII, (looking for an 8x10 to add). No 35mm film at all anymore. My 1Ds is easily better than 35mm film and close to drum scanned (I do my own drum scanning) 645. The 1DsMKII is close to 6x7. If I'm making HUGE prints than I still like big film. Most people don't make 40x60 prints an a regular basis. They are all tools. Use the right one for the job. What ever happened to common sense? Lawrence ---------------------------------- Lawrence W. Smith Photography http://www.lwsphoto.com lsmith@xxxxxxxxxxxx ----------------------------------
