One of the articles I read about 35mm vs. MF vs. LF was that; you get about
the same amount of "good shots".

The LF is the longest to compose, and generally makes you think the most.
The MF next.  Then the 35mm.  The way some of my friends take pictures with
their digital cameras; watching them is like watching a drunk driver; they
take pictures with wreckless abandonment...  I'm sure they yield about
roughly the same amount of decent shots as 35mm users do; but at maybe twice
the picture taking volume..
