Larger negatives are about superior image quality (granularity,
definition, etc), and ease of getting quality results.
Nothing else.<
what does granularity and definition have to do with quality?

David,
I still use 35mm also. I'm just finding it rarer than I expected.
Certainly AF usage is one issue. Most of the time, compact size isn't
that critical. The two other issues are macro (DOF problems) and long
telephotos. I don't really do much in the way of macro (tried it, not

Since I am usually working under rather "blah" conditions when I need
the 800 film, I need something with a little more contrast in it. I
have heard that Portra 800 has about the same kind of contrast as
160/400 NC, is that true?
