Sometimes, size does matter. With film photography, the larger the negative area, the higher the quality (resolution) of the resulting image. There are also other benefits, such as a smoother gradation of tones and finer grain. Unfortunately large format film cameras are big and heavy, the film is expensive, and they are slow to use. However, once you see your first negative or transparency, these issues seem minor; the detail and overall rendering of the image is just phenomenal!
