No, Cant Take away the cost issue, because it is possible to match 4x5 film quality with special digital backs that cost $10,000 and up. Can you afford that? I doubt. So IN THE AFFORDABLE domain, 4x5 film blows away digital.....

Do you appreciate that for some of us who have made the decision that 4x5 isn't not for us the problem isn't affordability? You seem to keep hinging your argument on $$$ vs quality. For me it's convenience vs benefit vs need & the clincher: reality. Value for money is secondary in my case.
