      "Brownies" were 6x6 ... not 35mm. In theory you'd   
      want a 6x6 sensor, LOTS of pixels, though the LENS   
      isn't THAT great. 6x6 with a GOOD lens is usually   
      pretty spectacular.   
      
      I have a Pentax 6x7 - "The Big One" - like a giant   
      SLR. Alas they never made a 6x7 sensor for it.   
      Modern 'tiny' sensors with theoretically similar   
      pixel counts still just don't reproduce the look   
      and feel of 'real' 6x7 medium-format film alas.   
      Modern sensors are "sharp", but film had a better   
      'tonal' range.   
      
      It's the old 'analog'-vs-'digital' arg. Digital is   
      technically 'more accurate'. 'Analog' however is   
      often more 'aesthetic' - better tuned to human   
      senses. Digital sound is technically more accurate,   
      but tube amplifiers/vinyl are more aesthetic. Similar   
      with image sensors -vs- film. Using film you get   
      basically 16+ bit tonal range ... and it's not   
      quite "linear", but more in tune with how the   
      human eye sees things. A medium/large format   
      film, say Plus-X, just LOOKS better, more "real".
