One needs to see a print from the film to really appreciate the format, it would have been my preference back in the "film days", had it not been so expensive. Along the same lines, the first time I saw a contact print made from an 8x10 negative, it almost took my breath away it was so sharp. Been enjoying your site, reminds me of my days, er actually years in Japan! Thanks! I also disagree on the waste of film.

Quite common, even here in France. For the medium format, it's a classic medium 120 film (used in Rolleiflex e.g. by some great photographers like R. Doisneau). I own a Rollei (a Rolleicord, cheaper than a rolleiflex) too with such films, in addition on my DSLR. This film is also used in 6x17 pano cameras, those pano posters taken by landscape photographers (like Plisson). It's no the most colossal waste of film : all the film is used. And what about the grand format used like Ansel Adams for example. <span class='jfriedl'>Ah, but Ansel Adams, in his infinite wisdom, never wasted his grand formats taking a picture of <b>me</b>. —Jeffrey</span> Yes Hoeggarden ! great white belgium beer.

It tastes great, but have more than a couple and it really will give you a nasty headache. And believe it or not it is only a normal pint-size - some friends and I tested it a few years ago (by pouring into a 'normal' pint glass) as we didn't believe it. I guess the glass is thick so it makes it look like more than a pint. Yup, Hoegaarden. It tastes great, but have more than a couple and it really will give you a nasty headache.

The color of the beer and logo on the (standard size BTW) glass match. It's a many orders of magnitude better beer than Heineken, although that is not very difficult. In Belgium and Holland it is usually served with a wedge of lemon. That is definitely a Hoegaarden. The color of the beer and logo on the (standard size BTW) glass match.

Tastes nothing like the Dutch Heineken, but I like it better. Judging from the beer and the logo on the glass, it looks like a Hoegaarden, which is a Belgian white beer.
