When you think of it, the Academy ratio still rules the digital
photography marketplace. How many 2.66:1 Kodaks have you seen? Anyone
find a 2.75:1 Nikon? Maybe.

Digital photography? Yuch.

Just can't beat a 4x5 view camera loaded with Fujichrome Velvia with a
Schneider lens at f45 for 10 seconds [g]. Unless, of course you use
an 8x10.

For some example see January's Arizona Highways Magazine, where fellow
Tucsonan, Jack Dykinga uses just that to capture images that will blow
your socks off.
