Trade-Offs
- Very heavy and costly cameras
- Costly lenses with image coverage for large film sizes
- Film holders are custom built by fine wood workers - very costly
- High cost of film - most films must be special cut
- Cumbersome manipulation, which slows down the photographic process significantly
- Absence of international standards for film holders beyond 11" x 14" (30 cm x 40 cm) - this is rarely an issue as film holders are custom built to match cameras.
- Note that 14" x 17" - the size of X-Ray and MRI films - is indeed an international standard.

Famous quotes containing the word trade-offs:
“Work-family conflicts—the trade-offs of your money or your life, your job or your child—would not be forced upon women with such sanguine disregard if men experienced the same career stalls caused by the-buck-stops-here responsibility for children.”
—Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)
“Realistic about how much one person can accomplish in a given day, women expect to have to make some trade-offs between work and family. Families, however, have absorbed all the stress and strain they possibly can. The entire responsibility for accommodation is taking place on the home side of the equation.”
—Deborah J. Swiss (20th century)
