Some time ago, I was in an exhibit at the Museum of Architecture and
design, here in LA. Fortunately I had 11x14 photographs made from 4x5's
up on the wall. Another exhibitor had blow ups made with negs from a
'blad. To that photographer's misfortune, the photographs were right
alongside ink jet prints. The ink jet prints blew those photographs out
of the water. Slobodan Dimitrov
