Equipment: 35 MM vs Medium format I understand the benefits of a 6 x 7 format over the 35 mm format, but my question is, is there a "justifiable" difference between the 35 mm format and the 6 x 4.5 format? Cropping wise and enlargement quality? PS: Thank you guys, this is a great way to obtain much needed information!

Where's John L.? This is one of his favorite questions to answer. I'm sure John will be along to give you the technical and practical aspects. I will point out the common sense aspect. Do you think 645 would be such a popular format if there wasn't a justifiable difference? I guess the only one who knows whether it's a big enough difference is you. My choice was to go with the 6x7. I'm a bigger is better kinda guy and I like to be able to do large prints. What size prints to you want to be able to make? Also keep in mind that the larger the negative, not only do you get finer grain but the tonal gradations improve as well. I'll let John fill in the rest. ;-)))
