I 've sold 30x40" prints with my 'blad.What & how did you make comparisons, tell us more.
Follow Ups:
Well, it certainly wasn't a 30"X40" print. More like 10"X 15". It was a painting of Albatrose flying low over ocean waves. The edge of the rollers were done with a matt knife so that they would stand out. With the Olympus, they stood out and were very diminsional while with the Hassy photo they were flat. Edges with the Oly print were also sharper and better defined.
Such as what type of film were you using? Print or transparency? What speed? What color density? And critically, was it processed properly and printed properly? I have noticed that images from digital cameras seem, to me at least, to be a bit "hot" compared with the results from film (and by that I mean a sharpness to edges where those edges, in reality, may not have been that sharp, but are rendered so by the characteristics of the current crop of CCD's...if that makes sense). I work mainly with black and white, I admit, but have avoided going digital because I simply have not seen an inkjet/dye black and white print that even approaches the look and feel of a silver print. I will grant you that the digital backs for the Hassy's and the Rollei 6000 series are very nice, but I think I can still surpass them with my Rolleiflex 3.5F or Bronica RF645, loaded with TMX, properly processed, and properly printed on Ilford fiber paper. Digitial is convenient, to be sure, and more profitable for professionals. But in my humble (and likely irrelevant) opinion, digital still has problems, but we accept them, as we accept zoom lenses that are not as sharp as prime lenses (and, to relate to this forum, as many accept the convenience of MP3 audio despite its serious shortcomings, and cd's despite their lesser shortcomings). I do believe the day will come, probably soon, when digital surpasses film, and when film will go the way of the cyanotype. But I don't think we're there yet.
