what does granularity and definition have to do with quality? if sharpness is your only measure of quality, why stop at medium format? why not, as i said earlier, shoot 20x24 inch glass plates and make only contact prints? all the technical recommendations in the world will not make an image without artistic content into a quality image. i object to your blanket statement that all pro photographers shoot junk because they all shoot 35mm nowadays and implied that in the good old days when everyone shot 4x5 and 8x10, all you got was stellar performances. sorry, but there is plenty of evidence to the contrary. ever see an exhibit of George Bernard Shaw photos?
