Sorry all, this has nothing to do with personalities.

I have been wondering lately why some photographers, Jim included, expose
chromes instead of negative film when (publishing aside) the final result is
a print.

In 35mm, one has to decide whether to make internegs from slides or other
processes in order to make prints, or make slides from negatives in order to
project them.

In medium, and especially in large format, projection is not the norm.
Therefore, what is the advantage of using chromes and resorting to
internegs, Ciba, or digital negatives to make prints when starting with a
negative seems more logical including the latitude that if offers?

Thanks,
Joe
