If one is going to regularly take pictures on TV tripods with mirror lock-up, 25 ISO and f5.6 to f8, it might also seem logical to go up to medium or large film formats, no ? The loss of ultimate Zeica performance will be almost infinitely compensated by the enlargement ratio. If I rephrase that, would I be saying that Zeica quality is not useful for normal 35mm handheld, 100-400 ISO film, mirrorslapped shooting ? Ouch... Friendly regards Alan Brussels-Belgium
