So that was my thought.

If technical quality is the goal, does medium format (say "Hasselblad / 
Zeiss" grade) blow away 35mm, even top of the line Leica FLE ASPH 
Superlux whatever?
I believe the answer is "yes", due to the superb performance of the 
Zeiss optics, and the huge (compared to 35mm ) negative.

And, a Hasselblad is as fast as an M.
