[QUOTE="jwstl, post: 141346, member: 12977"] The only thing that's changed is the technology and the internet that allows these obsessions to be heard and shared with more people. Back in the film days people cared as much about lens sharpness and print quality as they do now. It's the reason T-Max replaced Tri-X as the most popular b&w film...it was much finer grained and allowed for bigger prints. But it wasn't a better film. It's the reason Velvia film was so popular...Fine grained with exaggerated color which made images pop. It's the reason Leica's were so highly regarded....lens sharpness. There will always be those who focus more on the tools than the aesthetics. The tools have changed, but that's all. [/QUOTE]
