Both on tripods, cable released-mirrows up. Same film type and sitting side by side exposed at the same moment. (also we need the lens of the two to cover as close to the same area as possible)( same f stop and shutter speed) Now we can compare apples to apples (so it were) the 2 1/4 will not need the same amount of magnification as the 35, so you'll notice more grain in the 35 image. Not having done side by side comparisons I can not give you more info. but when I shoot a wedding I use both the hassie and the leica (R's) and my assistant who does the editing always comments that they like the detail in the 2 1/4 images better that those of the 35mm. Now if we shoot chromes and then do inter negs or computer negs and lock the grain at a certain magnification level between the two that is equal, then I think the leica would win. I'm sure that not everyone will agree. Next is that if your shooting the 35 on a tripod-mirrow up and cable released, and the 2 1/4 hand held then the 35 will win on movement alone. cheers Wilber DonjR43198@aol.com wrote: > In a message dated 08/11/1999 12:03:05 PM Central Daylight Time, > MatthewB@cbia.com writes: > > << > I'd be interested in how you feel about 16X20 prints from Leica versus > Hblad, all films etc being equal.
