What film for landscape and why?

And, please explain how you can get great sports photos with your view
camera..or extreme close-ups of inaccessible areas...

No problem. For sports, I'll use the Super-Technika and 360mm lens.

And while you're still changing holders, I have taken 5 or more shots,
advancing my film with a stroke of my thumb

A Real Photographer doesn't need to take but a couple shots.

Rugby games go on for hours. You never know when you may get an even
better shot...even if you get a good one early on..

First off, cheese is best eaten cold. Or fresh & warm. Fresh curds
rule.
Sports/PJ? You've seen the great PJ work with a Speed Graphic of the
Hindenberg.
For closeups, just put on a 75mm Tominon and extend to 150mm for
1:1 macro work.
You can get your shots by the random shot-gun approach. That is, by
accident. I'll get mine by intent.
The lens I'd really like is one of those Super Symmar XL thingies. But
@ $2000 it's
out of my budget. Much the same pricing as many over-priced Leica
lenses.

jealous.)

Yes, but I can get more out of that postage stamp than most people can
out of large format.

Challenge! I love it. High noon by the clock tower. Seriously, make my
day. SHOW ME!

Or shut the **** up.

Remember this (but you already know them), my little bald friend:
a) Composition is everything.
b) The detail captured is only a component of the composition.

Leading to these conclusions ...
a) The larger the neg, with quality lenses on either a given, the
better the perspective and rendering of reality.
b) Yes, a good 135 composition is more useful than a poor 4x5
composition.
c) But a good composition in 4x5 beats a good composition in 135 in
most respects.

Behold the power of Cheeseheads

When you have lots of time, it's easy. How well can you compose when
you have 2 seconds?

b) The detail captured is only a component of the composition.

to a)
PJ work is dependent on a readiness for an unpredictable event.
That's why I don't do it. Some do it with excellence.
But it's a venue to which I am not suited.
And it's really an inferior form of photography.

to b)
Seems clear to me.
Resolution is not composition and does not determine composition.
It's merely a feature.

Of course, what one is not good at is inferior...

Note the smiley following the original statement.

But really, isn't great PJ work clearly differentiated from great art?
And isn't PJ work really a product of our dysfunctional culture where
we look for the emotion of the moment?
There's little long-range thinking in that behavior. Isn't it then by
definition an existentialist expression?
