One thing not mentioned here that undoubtedly influenced editors to
prefer larger negs back in the day- retouching.
We tend to overlook how important retouching was for newspapers and
magazines from the 1920s to the 1960s. It was standard operating
procedure.
Obviously, retouching a 4x5 neg is a lot easier than a 35mm one.
I knew a few guys who were still doing retouching in the 1980s-
although I'm not sure they knew what the hell they were doing. Today,
with digital, it's become a lost art.
