folks always talk about 35 mm "dying" and then talk about quality of
images.  If 35 mm is dying, it has nothing to do with image quality, but
with competition for other media such as digital.  If image quality were
the primary issue, the ratio of 35 mm film sales to 120 film sales would
be different.

BYW, everyone talks as if a MF resolution sensor is impossible.  There
would be considerable advantages to packing MF resolution into a sensor
smaller than 6x7 - aside from begin light the diffraction effects would
better.  I predict this sensor or simply an economically viable 6x7
sized senor is about ten years behind the 35 mm one.  All the economic
advantages of digital are even better in the MF arena.
