SAY WHAT????
Ansel Adams shot huge numbers of pictures with Hassleblad and, GULP, film
provided by Poloroid. Many of your favorite Yosemite pictures were 6x6.
Whenever he gave a workshop he used 4x5 or even 8x10, but his personal axe
of choice was the 'blad. The archives are loaded with 6x6. Late in life he
returned to his large-format roots, but there is about a 20 year span of
mostly medium format.
Still, he was the master of the darkroom. Just think, he has fooled most of
us into thinking that those horrible 6x6 emulsions were actually taken with
4x5 or 8x10.
