jco, the subject states "35mm SUCKS!". i disagree. 4x5 is a *special purpose* tool, and as such it is wonderful. it's like saying that 50mm lens sucks since 1000mm allows for better quality of far away detail, or that honda civic sucks since any formula-1 car is faster. btw, 4x5 definitely sucks since 10x12 blows it away quality-wise, doesn't it? this very much pointless, anyway -- for *what you are doing* 4x5 is better, you are excited about it and i am happy that you share your excitement.
