Digital BW, The Print

I'm not getting into another film vs. digital b&w from rgb 
arguement... but I will comment that while 8x10" negatives can 
produce great images, very few subjects lend themselves to 8x10" 
equipment... I don't know anyone that shots a small camera because 
they specifically want a small negative... 35mm was a what most 
photogs found to be a good compromise between image quality and 
convenient fast action.  If someone is content with the limited 
subjects suited for large format that is great, the quality can be 
stellar, but there are a lot of other things worth shooting as well.
