Every film format has a distinctive look.
Pictures taken with an 8x10 inch view camera and contact printed seem impossibly sharp from foreground to infinity. This is often because the photographer used the swings and tilts of the front and back of the camera to create an artificial reality. If one uses a 35 mm camera, the lens frequently isolates a zone of sharpness at a single distance, rendering objects closer to or farther away from the camera as a blur, often an unrecognizable one. Neither a view camera nor a 35 mm camera reproduces the scene as our eye and brain system would. Minox pictures in contrast, have a familiar, almost cozy, look about them.
