The best advise here from the best people but I still think if someone wants to
walk around with their M6 on a solid tripod and shoot high res slowest films and
blow up those negs poster size and bigger that makes perfect sense to me! I've
been there done that mind set, it works, and will work again for me.
I've seen that approach work time and time again. 35mm film is amazing stuff.
And most of this stuff that I've done and seen was not even done with modern
Leica lenes! Or Xtol!
