You would be well advised to personally run this science fair experiment before instructing others to do so, because the results will not be what you expect if the prints are viewed with the naked eye. BR John Francis [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:     This suggests that a good optical full-frame

A 6MP sensor isn't bad - it gives you 300ppi on an 8x10 print, which is good enough for many purposes. But there's no way this comes close to the resolution obtainable from film. I've only got a 2700ppi scanner (the Nikon Coolscan III), but even that gives me 20 megapixels

They're definitely what *I* expect; I've got them hanging on the wall in front of me as I type. The purely-optical photographic print is the sharpest. A 300ppi print (from a top-of-the line digital printer) isn't quite as good. Similarly, 200ppi prints aren't quite as sharp as 300ppi prints

There have been long and erudite explanations of the FOV crop when using the available 6 mp DSLR cameras. Don't you believe it. With every DSLR, you get, absolutely free, a lens 1.5x as long as your current longest lens. Period. It's that simple. So my 300mm/f4 is now a 450mm/f4.
