People "need" what they want to think they need...


Well said.

I made a big print as a gift this past Christmas .. Cheetah portrait, slightly larger than
life size .. and more recently, I did a very heavy crop so as to identify a bird species - pic
wasn't great, but it served its purpose - and in retrospect, the crop effectively made it a
5000+mm equivalent while (supported) handheld, which far exceeded my expectations.
