I take exception......  Sexton's prints sometimes have no "life" to them as
they tend to be pretty technical in nature.....

But not sharp?  Nope.  Sharper than the proverbial snot.

Ditto Adams, unless you are looking at early works....

Having seen up close nearly a dozen Sexton prints, they are not  
overly sharp. The same can be said for A. Adams images, of which I've  
seen over a couple dozen. They are more interested in tonality, a  
remnant from the early days of uncoated lenses, graded papers, and  
scratch mixed chemistry.
A lowly Irving Penn print from 2? can blow theirs out the water  
without any effort.

Should be a good film, but they are using John Sexton to promote who  
usually shoots large format so of course it will be sharp!
