(apologies to any medium format lurkers we've not heard from) And 11x14 does not work for fast paced fashion model photography. Mark R did fashion work, as did I (back in the 70's and early 80's), you're working for art directors who are working for clothing designers who expect to see their threads (literally and accurately) rendered. Dynamic range and micro detail is expected. You have to be able to "feel" the fabric. Yes. These fashion photographers are achieving what Avedon achieved with an 8x10 - back in the 50's and 60's and the market continues to demand that quality. Take a look at the high end fashion, design and architecture magazines the work is being done with very large sensors.
