Wow.  Trust me on this, the Dag guys didn't 
crop.  Trust me, every photographer since then 
has cropped.  I have seen a lt of historic 
negatives and have then seen the prints made from them:  they were cropped.

Cropped photos are life.  I cannot comprehend the 
sort of anal-retentive mindset which demands that 
all pictures be printed full-frame.  It just does 
not work that way.  Any one who has spent time in 
a dark room has experienced the process of just 
HOW to crop a decent negative.  A lot of poor 
pictures produce a great cropped image.
