I think you\'ll find that when you compare the different formats (MF vs. 35), you\'ll find that the 35mm format reigns over the MF glass when shooting the on the \'wide side\' of \'normal\' if you are looking at sharpness. I\'m of the opinion that this is due to the longer registration coupled with the more obtuse angle of incidence, the light spread is noticeably different between the two formats ... less so when you are on the \'tele\' side of things ... basically the reverse of the inherent differences noted between rangefinder vs. SLR formats.
With that in mind, I think it\'s important to understand if you are shooting for contrast/sharpness/acutance ... or tonal values ... then choose your poison, as they are two different animals.
Kent,
Interesting insight.
I believe though that regardless of the physics involved in the projection of light on the sensor or film within one system or another the \"proof is in the pudding\" and the \"pudding\" is in \"the eye of the beholder\".
