BD & Buzz BD, your plea for sanity in this unhinged world o' mine is truly appreciated. But, as a comic once said, "Don't mis-undertake me." Ain't no way I'm claiming to be able to produce 16x20's from 35 that are indistinguishable from the big stuff in a side-by-side comparison . 4x5 is kindof iconic for me; I have a number of great vintage prints around here (most shot by Todd Webb) that were produced from such negs and I just can't stop looking at the damn things. This ain't the reason God invented Leicas, as we've said recently. Fir me, it's more about not whining about having some other kindof gear and instead going after the best possible quality available with what I've got. Incidentally (or mybe not) this other guy is also a far better nature/scenic photographer than me; and I really like the idea of comparing the results of two shooters who were presented with the same subject opportunities. And as you two have highlighted, I don't need no stinking sherpa... Bob Palmieri _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
