I agree. It made me discouraged back in the day cause there was a clear difference between that and the 35mm and I got kinda hung up on it, but eventually he let me use one of his old 6x7's and.. I got some great shots with it.. And now these days, I realize it's just more important to get a great shot, even something on a phone camera could be amazing.. The camera isn't as important.. But.. it does help to have a better camera, it definitely does.
