Ken Rockwell has a wonderful article about the joys of large-format photography, particularly his 4x5 format field camera. There's no single-sensor digital camera that can yet beat a sheet of 4x5 Provia 100 or T-Max 100 (mmmm... T-Max).

Oh this article makes a bad year end much better! I have my old Crown Graflex loaded with some T-Max but the Flu has prevented me from doing some shooting. T-Max 4x5 film handles well in developement unlike it's 35mm counterpart which tends to get too dense with normal developement. I always go -1.0 minute using roll film. My goal this year is to get a Toyo or Tachihara 4x5 and do some shooting in Alabama documenting old barns; Nice article indeeed
It's not just image quality, it is just a completely different way of working and the greater sense of presence at the scene. It is said that there is somewhat of a LF revival...
