This is absolutely the right answer.  Too often, internet arguments about the merits of various formats devolve to more film&#x2F;sensor == more resolution, when nothing could be further from the truth.<p>Case in point: I once mounted a 150mm large format lens into a cardboard box and taped some Provia 100 inside the box opposite the lens.  The resulting image takes up a huge amount of film (roughly 6cm x 17cm), but despite having a decent lens, the resulting image isn&#x27;t all that great... of course, a cardboard box can&#x27;t keep the lens square to the box, sucks at keeping the film flat, and even if you managed to get a perfect exposure it&#x27;s very hard to keep a large negative (positive in this case) flat enough to get a decent dry scan.<p>(Here&#x27;s the image, BTW: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.flickr.com&#x2F;photos&#x2F;shivatron&#x2F;2384597928" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.flickr.com&#x2F;photos&#x2F;shivatron&#x2F;2384597928</a> .)
