sorry, all it takes is one good image. I don’t care about the camera or the size of the negative, or how long it took to set up the gear.
I think you guys can give it a rest… really.
as far as I am concerned, an image is an image no matter how big, how sharp, or how long it took to make it…if it’s crap, it’s crap, no matter how big or sharp, or how long you took to make it……

yes, I can see the difference between large frame, and a 35mm digital file…. if it’s the puddle jumper, then I will grant that technique is important.
If it’s an attempt to impress me with technique, rather than with a great shot, you lose…

imo 4 clicks is 4 clicks, always will be, no matter how big the negative, or the cornfield….
