My response to the response You are moving the goalposts. All I said was that a 35mm negative is inferior to a 120 negative. Leica is dedicated to 35mm which means that digital and APS can match this quality a long time before they can match the quality from a 120 negative. Maybe digital and APS can then have a go at "outshooting" the MF cameras but 35mm will be history by then. If film has a future it will be in the larger formats or not at all. So there. :o) QED. Alan
