Old and Newer 'Residents' of Whitby, Yorkshire from St Mary's Churchyard - here I used my A24 back loaded with some outdated Fuji NPS 160 220 size I rated at 80 ASA and processed in C41.
All right, I see You point. But larger format is used, beside other things (like..), to preserve details which are lost in smaller formats. Which only 800 dots, I don't see any details more than picture taken with pocket, spy fixed focus lens camera. I always resize my picture up to about 4.7MB, which is limit for size at ZI, to preserve as much details as I can with my APC size sensor.
