I very much agree. I'm unable to describe the technical reasons, but 
medium format prints have a "presence" that 35mm do not. If any would 
scoff, remember we are on a Leica list where the Leica "glow" is taken 
for granted without there being full understanding of why or how. Prints 
made with certain Leica lenses exhibit a glow (although I sometimes 
suspect it's nothing more than flair), and prints made with medium 
format exhibit a presence.
