Formal portraits, casual portraits, kids portraits, are SOOOO much better handled by the 6x7 negative, what happens when that child's parents want an 11 x 14 of their kid? The advantage over 35mm becomes clear pretty soon. Landscapes? Night shots? anything where you have time to compose and consider your exposure? The bigger neg wins out everytime. Where the 35mm rules is getting those fast moving subjects like hyperactive kids at play or actors on stage... 35mm works well for actors headshots and "newspaper style" promos that won't see over 8 x 10. Also when out with a tripod and the 600mm shooting birds or that grizzly bear with cubs.... Cheerz! Brian - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
