From a technical standpoint in my last years in the early 90's using Nikons in my work I swore off the zooms. I wanted faster lighter more flare free pure results. Then I went Leica M. The quality of my 35mm work went up again and by quite a bit. I use the Nikons for macro work. When I need a technically richer or square image I use my Rolleiflex or Hasselblads. If the situation is more demanding than that especially in respect to depth of field and convergence I shoot 4by5 with my Calumet Cambo. Someday I will do contact prints from 8x10 negs…and may throw my other gear away when the prints dry down. Mark Rabiner
