Well, that argument could also be made for why so people still use large format film. For the tonality of the print of course. Although modern 35mm films are excellent, you still cannont get the long tonal scale of medium or large format films when enlarging.(posted 8461 days ago)I always get flamed from the 35mm crowd for my opinion, but it's true. The medium and large format have that extra tonal "oomph" that 35mm doesn't have. And yes, I USE ALL FORMAT SIZES. I never regret the 11x14's made from medium or large format. However, I think an 8x10 print from 35mm is barely acceptable.
You always hear ludicrous claims like "I can blow my 35mm to 11x14 or 16x20 inches and it looks as good as medium or large format." Uh-huh, right. You never hear how medium or large format users try to make their prints look like a 35mm print.
But use what makes you happy.
