Here is a crazy example:

And that's only medium format. The 4x5 large format is substantially larger and the 8x10 large format is even bigger than that. It's absolutely crazy how far you can zoom in

Drum scanners.

Ever wondered what the highest image quality in photography that is achievable at all?

It isn't an expensive full frame camera. It isn't something only companies and never people use. It's plain old analog photography on 8x10 large format and then not scanning them with normal analog photography scanners - it's these crazy drum scanners.
