Just for fun, a matter of word association.
I'm curious what first occurs to you when you hear the word "purity" in the context of LF photography.

Not sure why, but for me, it's the purity of the water I'm using to mix darkroom chemicals.
What came to your mind?
Here the only rule is 4X5 and above...
Also the pure air (so far) of Washington state's Olympic and Cascade mountains, in advance of this season's inevitable forest fires. Come mid and late summer, I can count on far subjects disappearing in the smoke and haze.
Repressive people dictating how we should do large format.
Purity of essence, essence of purity, purity + essence, ytirup fo ecnesse, etc etc etc etc...
What film was that from??? ;-)

I have never associated the word "purity" with large format photography - no idea why I would.

Virginity. The loss of which happens when the camera exposes its first image. Beyond that event... no purity.
The quality of light.
