Hi Bruce ...
You're responding to my response to Mr. Wheatfield. Did you
see the original post? My point is that, in certain
situations, a print made from a slide will be of ~better~
quality than that made from a negative. Specific examples
have been mentioned, such as large prints.
Secondary to that is that there have been discussions here
suggesting that one should use negative film if one is going
to make prints. My point is that one should not fall victim
to that generalization, as you noted below.
