My definition is whether or not I like it enought so that I would pay $30 or
so for a 11x14 Ilfochrome or spend many hours in the darkroom for the same
thing. That's a 5 star I guess. 4 stars for an 8X10 I guess. Being able to
print to larger sizes is definitely an important part of my personal rating
formula.
