Raised hand. When I go after fuzzy animals, they always seem to turn out much smaller in the print than they seemed in the viewfinder, even if they seemed pretty small in the viewfinder. I've often used a crop and zoom as a faux telephoto. In film, not digital, but I'd imagine the same concept applies. All else being equal, I'd rather use the slower film, and that's one reason why. And nobody has even mentioned the poor, neglected spies and private eyes that need as much information in their photos as they can get. They need to read license plates and recognize people's faces from a distance, you know.
