I'm surprised the K7 pic is as sharp as it is, given that it was shot at f13, where you're going to get a lot of diffusion. Try it at f5.6 or so. What stop did you shoot the 6x7 pic at. And what lens. You list an 80/2.8. I assume you mean the 90/2.8? Paul On Jan 1, 2011, at 2:07 PM, Jens

I'm not sure Paul, but since it a studio recording done at appr. the same time, I guess it the same aperture - F 13 or perhaps F11. Next time I shall: 1. Make sure the conditions are very close to being exactly the same. 2. Use new 120 film (Kodak Ektar 100 or Fuji Astia 100) 3. Use a pro-lab
