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.
