Some words in English, such as "large" are just too subjective. In photography, I consider 8x10" and 5x7" to be "large". 4x5" (9x12cm) is barely "large". It annoys me when people refer to 2.25 x 3.25" (6x9cm) and 3.25 x 4.25" as "large format". (and it infuriates me when people express focal length of lenses in units of "35mm equivalent mm", instead of the actual mm. (my 47mm super-angulon vignettes on long distance of 4x5, but it damn sure ain't a "longer than 'normal'" focal length!)) Alas, the general public are going to insist that anyghing bigger than a PC is "large scale". -- Grumpy Ol' Fred cisin at xenosoft.com
