considerably larger than the size of the film. For macro-photography there is no advantage in using medium format unless the subject is large enough to fill the field. In general the lenses made for 35 mm are better corrected than those for the larger formats. To see how well 35 mm does it's job look at some good macros. When the object is a few inches in size and the reproduction ratio is 1:5 (maybe even 1:10) to 1:1 or more, nothing beats 35 mm. Don >> I'm with you Don. Also you have to look at the end product. It it never goes beyond 8X10- even 11x16 the compromises with larger format are probably not worth it unless you are doing strictly portraits or very static photography... Vic
