Digital BW, The Print

There is no one 'best' format.  The "best" format is the one that gets the results you want/need.  An extreme example for sure, but it makes the point:  why would one shoot 8x10, or a Leaf back, to make images that are never intended for anything other than 800x600 WEB advertising?  (ok, depth of field, and maybe perspective).  I shoot eveything from Minox to 8x10.  You use what you need, when you need it.  More and more, however, my wants/needs are just to get good 14x17's and, above all, having a lot of low hassle fun doing it.  I can see something like the Sony F828 in my future.  And, I believe that I will find a way to get 'good' b&w from some of the newer digital technology.

Additionally, as you point out, LF doesn't have the convenience of 35mm.
But once you've shot a larger format, you tend to lust for it in _all_
photos, not just the photos for which it can be practically used.  So
everything less looks a bit disappointing in comparison, no matter what the
shooting situation.
i totally agree with this as well

i have been shooting MF film for about 7 months now, and i simply cannot go
back to 35mm any longer! and i too cannot afford LF equipment, so i don't even
want to see what a LF print looks like in real life :)
