Over the web it might make little difference, viewing the prints in person it very well might.

Who looks at prints in person anymore? That’s 20th century stuff.

if you ever get a chance view guillaume zuili's 35mm enlargements they are gigantic and absolutely beautiful

Not only that but I still think the vast majority of people will make better photographs with smaller than larger formats.

That's only because you have shorter days in winter up there, and can't deal with the longer exposures necessary for most large format shots.

Nope it’s based on all my years looking at photographs - including on here, where the best stuff is in the non-large format gallery threads. But it’s true short days are my favourite.

I know! And people still listening to live music, too, when we have ear-buds and all that stuff. Unbelievable!

And obviously Ansel's work became much better when he started using the Hassy...

just think how good his work would have been if he used a Leica like Bresson .. he really missed the boat ..

By all accounts he was looking forward to the digital age, so he missed that boat, too. Instead, he drove his wood-sided land yacht off into the sunset.
