aah yes, so have I. But in office space (board room, conference room,
etc.), people are looking at it from a few inches, not a few feet. There IS
a difference between a 30x40 or 48x60 when your nose is almost touching the
print. When you look at a very large print from a 4x5, then look at a very
large print from a 35, there is no mistake as to which print came from
which format. The laws of physics cannot be changed... other than perhaps
via Photoshop. I don't use Photoshop.

So I'll quietly slink away with my stinkin MF & LF.
