What you gain is mostly smoother tones, not > sharpness. It's a trade-off. That is complete crap. How about you show me a print done with a MF camera that shows a problem that was caused by film flatness. Of course this can POSSIBLY happen on the first neg of a roll that was partially used, and was sitting for a while, but other than that, it isn't a REAL problem that anyone normally needs to worry about. Also, have you ever REALLY compared a MF enlargement to a 35mm enlargement, of the same film for 'sharpness'? If you haven't, then how can you say MF is not equally as sharp, if not even shaper than 35? I shoot both MF and 35, and love my Leica, but beyond 11x14, it can't compete with my MF negatives.
