Large format cameras have been in use for over 100 years.
Although they produce images with extremely fine detail --
much better than 35mm, objectively speaking -- I have
determined that they are over-used, and are therefore
largely cliche' and for beginners and the naive.
See? It's easy to sound like an authority, even if what's
being said makes no sense at all.
Although nay-saying self-proclaimed authorities can be
irritating, I'd just ignore them. Their opinions do more
damage to their own credability than to anyone else's.
My favorite quote of all time comes from Thomas Jefferson,
who said, "The right of the people to freedom of speech
does not include the right to be taken seriously."
