Sure, a bigger neg will yield higher quality, but at the cost of flexibility, portability, convenience, stealth, and so on. Those of you who shoot pretty flowers and landscapes, and subjects that don't move, can easily use and benefit from a larger format. However, for much of what Juan does, and what I do, the 35mm format is just about ideal. There are few, if any, medium format cameras that will allow the kind of shooting I'm describing.
