Mark: I think you're overlooking artistic intent: it all depends what aesthetic the photographer wants. In may case I don't want exquisite medium-format prints: I want my photographs to have some "bite" or grittiness.n Last year at the Sydney Biennale I saw a room with 60 Moriyama Daido prints, shot mostly on ISO 400 film with the Ricoh GR1 and GR21, printed on the Epson 9800 at 100x150cm (40x60 inches). They were breathtaking. Had these prints been made from medium- or large- format negatives they simply would have not been as great. One size doesn't fit all, and not all of us want the "quality" of larger negatives. --Mitch/Bangkok
