Glass is a first priority but format is firster.

Good glass services its format and makes it look its best.
But its acreage acreage acreage all over again blow up a neg from a 645
rangefinder camera taken with a so so lens and put it next to a blow up from
a 35mm next taken with an APO Asph astravaganza and the big neg blowup will
dominate every time. Side by side on the wall 16x20.
That such issues also hold true with sensor physical size is more than a
simile or a metaphor.
Its ISO 64,000 and be there.
With a fast lens getting its thin slice of life with nicely blurred Bokeh
backgrounds - not everything in the whole kitchen.
Like the 90s again. But not with neg file sleeves. With My Books.
