Ultra High-Resolution Images From Stitched Image Mosaics - Scott. Years ago I used large format cameras for landscape and scenic photography: a vintage 1950s Crown Graphic 4"x5" press camera and a massive, heavy Linhof 4"x5" studio camera.
I had a black and white darkroom in my basement and loaded and processed my own sheet film for these cameras. Big enlargements from 4"x5" negatives can be incredibly sharp and grain-free, much finer than even the sharpest 35mm transparency or negative. The problem with these cameras, at least for me, was the sheer inconvenience of traveling with them. Gigapxl Project. 2.5 GigaPixel Photo - GigaPix UK.
