Re: [photo-3d] 35mm versus MF

[WKarb77953@xxxxxxx]

There has been a significant amount of discussion concerning Medium Format vs 
35MM format.    
I believe it's a matter of taste and technical tradeoffs.

Certainly a larger image area contributes to improving the image in many 
ways.  It's the old adage "There is no substitute for square inches" .

HOWEVER, since the focal length of a MF camera lens is about twice as long as 
a 35MM, there is a distinct difference in "acceptable" depth of field (all 
else being equal), that 35mm wins hands down.  

A sharp stereo image is typically what's desired, from foreground to 
infinity.  There is a better chance in obtaining this with 35mm format than 
MF.   Even better with a veiwmaster format with its subsequent increases in 
depth of feild.
