mmmm - I just compared an 8x10 print from my "new" 12" Ektar equipped
Deardoff V8 with an 8x10 print from my 50mm 'cron (and tripod mounted) M6 -
I can tell, even that size, the 46 year old Ektar sure as hell knocks the
socks off my 1990's 'cron!! (including excellent colour rendition - very
rich - both on Portra 100NC)

WAY sharper to the naked eye.... :-)

Just dump the Medium format stuff and go properly big - hey 8x10 street
photography is fun
