Bruce, I only partially agree with that. For sharpness alone, that may be true. However, grain of the film and tonality/smoothness play a role in the visual experience. I have shot Delta 3200 on both 35 & 67. Blowing up to 5X7, there is a VERY visible difference between the two. I also see it at 8X10 with most films. I agree with Robb that at 8X blowup, you are starting to push into the next format.
