What I use, for what a situation calls for, is my business. As it is, most
clients are visual illiterates. The better editors rarely interfere. These
days one is bound to get a kid who's on the job by default. All they know is
pricing, from there end, and rarely know shoot requirements.
But I have to say, I have an image of Paulo Freire, shot with an M4 and 3rg
gen 35mm 'cron, going into a sociology textbook. It was shot on TX, indoors,
and barely printable. Today, I can outshoot that equipment combination with
the Canon S90, or better with a T2i, never mind any late 1D. The only reason
the shot is being printed is that he's dead, and the only image that I know
of where he's looking into the camera. Otherwise, it's a poor technical
quality image.
S.d.
