I'm unable to describe the technical reasons, but medium format prints have a "presence" that 35mm do not. If any would scoff, remember we are on a Leica list where the Leica "glow" is taken for granted without there being full understanding of why or how. Prints made with certain Leica lenses exhibit a glow (although I sometimes suspect it's nothing more than flair), and prints made with medium format exhibit a presence.
