The one that sticks in my mind the most was the one where I was asked what format the image was made on. They wanted to know if it was shot on 4 X 5 film or 8 X 10 film. I felt sort of funny giving an answer because they were not expecting me to say medium format. They were very surprised to learn about the equipment used and resigned to the fact that it is again the photographer and not the hardware that creates the image. I explained that I am very mindful of having my image in proper focus and probably spend more time focusing than many people.
Correct exposure is also a contributing factor as to the look and quality of an image.
All things work in harmony to create an image of quality. Fail in any of these areas and you will have diminishment. Mamiya Cameras are available on line from Adorama. To visit the Adorama web site, click here. Copyright Scott Smith.
