Choosing the light and location right, indeed important aspects in  
photography!

But seriously... it is such fine stuff. Tone and grain. To achieve  
medium format quality with a puny 35mm setup that weights a fraction  
of what the Hassy set does. I often carry a couple of rolls in the  
film bag just in case the gods from Venus would land and guide me to  
an opportunity to use it...

The other thing is that you just cannot hang equal size prints of  
this and any fast film next to each other. The viewer invariably  
thinks that the Tri-X/HP5+ shot is defective.
