 For those who feel that settling for 'good enough' cheapens the craft, 
remember that 35mm doesn't provide the image quality of 4x5 or medium format but is 
good enough for many purposes.  Good enough is just what it means: good 
enough.  It's all we need. >>

I think the upshot of all this is that we've inherited a two-track mode of 
photography. We need to be competent in both. Since this is essentially an M 
list, I would assume that film is the rail we essentially run on.
