Out of curiosity, I was wondering what Ansel Adams would do in today's
world. Would he get rid of his bulky, heavy wooden, paper/glass
negative cameras and go digital? Actually Ansel took pictures, but it
was his dark room expertise that gave him his benchmark prints.

Or do you think that "Weedgie" would trade in his beat up old
Speed-Graphics for an 8 pixel???

I was simply wondering what the results would be if you turned these
guys loose with digital.

I'm guessing he'd still be waiting for higher resolution. The amount of
information on a 8x10 or even 4x5 is orders of magnitude greater than
the highest res chip available.

Even pro digital can barely rival 35mm today. I'm guessing Weegie would
be still playing with formulas, emulsions, dodging and burning.

That's correct, although there are now "larger format" digitals that
produce 20+ megapixels.

I know they've had backs for the Hasselblad for a number of years but
there's no way I could even entertain having one. They were something
like $25K when new, probably less now. I'd like to rent one for a day
to play.
