"Large format film still rules for serious landscape photography.

I use digital for people, fun shots and convenience. Digital replaced film in 1999 for big-city newspapers. " -from the above site

Hence, why I qualified with "pros making LARGE prints". Large as in 4x5 or 8x10 format film (not the print, the film- the print can be 30x40 or larger).

He may be considered a nut for his reviews, and probably other things, but the stuff in the quoted site makes sense. YMMV.

edit: let me include a counter opinion. Here's one large format photographer who's decided digital is 'good enough'.
