It all depends on what you do with that negative. Printing it from a glass carrier with a super enlarger lens or scanning it on an Imacon might yield something better than a 12 or even a 20 megapixel camera can produce. But very few are able to generate that kind of output. My K-5 pics are far better than those I shot with the 6x7 and scanned on my flatbed. But some of the 16x24 bw prints I made with 6x7 negs and a Schneider Compuraon 105/56 enlarger lens are superior to anything I've been able to produce digitally. They were also a hell of a lot more work. Paul On Jul 1, 2011, at 9:14 PM, Jack Davis wrote:
