I find that relationship not as obvious to most. The average person who knows of
Adams may think of things like on the Time cover with a View Camera in that case
on of those Linhoffs with the L standards (which I always drooled over).
I think he is thought of for sheet film and large sheet film at that.
People are amazed to find out he shot roll film of any size.
Let alone Polaroid.
