Nor do either of us feel the need to justify why we are thrilled to have these for ourselves. Having said that there is a large difference in the output. Whether or not that matters to you or anyone else for different output purposes or the large cost is justified of course is entirely up to the individual Cheers Geoff http://www.pbase.com/hoppyman On 20 July 2014 13:35, Jayanand Govindaraj <jayanand at gmail.com> wrote: > John, > That print size does not tax any DSLRs or Mirrorless sensors that I > have used in the last 5 years, either, including Micro 4/3 - and I > print a lot for print exchanges, in which I regularly (month in, month > out) have been taking part for the best part of a decade.
