Response to Can I get medium format quality from 35mm?

OK, OK John, OK, I'm no 35mm fanatic! I just told about a test here which held all other things equal. Only two remarks though. Rodinal is very strong in producing grain, XTol is not. You don't mention it, but I suspect that it weren't the same subjects and light-conditions on the compared photo's, except flash as such. And of course 35mm can't beat 8*10, but we were talking about the amount of difference between 35mm and MF these days. And it seems we agree about how good and grainless 35mm can be these days. Even so, that I for myself do not see the need of MF, not being a fashion-photographer. I jump from 35mm to 4*5mm.
