Bigger is better but there are times when you go for compactness.
There's no point in having a camrea body the same size as another camera
body with it only being able to shoot a format half the size.
Half frame cameras and lenses were half the size of normal 35mm gear.
72 on a roll.
Pocketable.
Its use was a whole different thing.
If I had a strict bigger is better thing going I'd be shooting sheet film
not roll film. And renting digital backs for the camera. Which in my case is
a Calumet Cambo NX which I only have one lens for. A Fujinon 210. 5.6.
