Some will = swear other-wise and I agree with the theory and I have some great 2 = 1/4 negs but I have much more that I'll never use too! 35mm gives = me better results! (note: 10" x 14" is my standard print size) I think it's due to three reasons: Less depth of field for medium = format lenses, less actual resolution (lpm) of medium format lenses = and subject and camera movement due to having to stop down further to = achieve more depth of field. There is always some wind in Ecuador no = matter where you go and you can forget about hand holding a Hasselblad = anywhere in my opinion. I found my studio stuff from it was incredibly sharp, but those = situations eliminated all three of the above factors. = On the bright side, it's my Hasselblad money that is paying for my M = equipment. I'm anxiously awaiting that new tele M-6!!!!!! Thanks for = the inside scoop!!!! Duane Birkey HCJB World Radio Quito Ecuador ***** Message Was Scanned For Viruses ***** =
