What I have been talking about all the time is the print and what the
strip print tells us about that.

Extreme scale negatives are not particularly necessary for platinum.
(The scale is in any case more a function of development time rather
than any guarantee at all about how much of the subject range is
recorded.) What is important - as in silver-gelatine - is to match
negative scale to paper contrast and the intended effect.
