I was in awe of the slides from a 645 Pentax with a Zeiss lens adapter on it; amazing slides. He pointed to a car I couldn't see, and then busted out the microscope, after which I read the licence plate numbers.

He took a picture of a motorcycle, and what was amazing was, I READ the warning sticker on the engine block!! WOW...
That is why I find the medium format vs. digital test to be a bit flakey..

I like slides, projected about 5-6ft wide on a matte screen or white wall.
Then you look for the fine detail like tree limbs, letters on license
plates, words on street signs, etc... that's about what, 50x for a 6ft wide
projected image? Second choice is the 4000dpi scan from my Polaroid
Sprintscan. I scanned one negative, was looking at the license plate letters
at 400x in Photoshop Elements, and realized that I could actually read the
license plate... When I look on the negative I could barely *see* where it
was...
