But do they resolve 2.5 times better? I don't think so! It is a matter of I think of around 20 percent. A 16x20 made from medium format system would be hard to bead from one made from a 35mm system. This is a size where you can really more than start to see a difference. At the same time this does not make prints this size and bigger from 35mm unserviceable. They can be excellent. Just don't stick them right next to one of the same scene taken with Brownie film like a stereo pair. You ARE going to see a difference. <<< Mark, Don't look now, but we're AGREEING about this subject.... I would guess that's because of the 10,000 or so hours I logged in the darkroom as a custom printer, and because you can probably beat even that figure...? It ain't theoretical in the dark....<g> - --Mike
