It depends upon one's requirements. You are obviously interested in
the aesthetics of fine photography and therefore are able to come
closer to your "minds eye" picture with analog equipment. Others
are
more interested in convenience and cost to get a "really good"
picture that is easily disseminated to friends and family on the
internet.

I once had a conversation with a young girl who lived with us for a
couple years regarding music. She asked me to listen to a CD of the
grunge band Nirvana, which I did. There were a couple of slow
numbers
that were melodic but the fast stuff was garbled words and guitar
noise. She told me that composers like Cobain were the poets of
her
generation. I guess I can accept that recalling that my parents
never
quite understood the existence of Chuck Berry and Hank Williams.

Is this progress or simply movement? I would certainly hang one of
your photos on my wall rather than one of mine. At the same time, I
am quite happy with an inexpensive digital camera and will never buy
something that requires film and chemicals. And yes, I dumped my
POS
20 YO Craftsman CS in favor of a PM66. Progress definitely.

If you read the complaint it's basically that 35mm doesn't give the
same results as medium format. All the rest is misdirection. If
small format isn't "good enough" for him, then why was he even trying
to use it? Seems to me that he doesn't really understand his
equipment if he expected any different result from the one he got.
