Thanks. I don't undserstand your note about a pictorial application (1000:1), William?
All I really want is to be able to jugde my lenses - before or after purshase...:-). Since I mainly shoot digital now, I want to use my *ist D for thesting the lenses. And I want to be able to choose the right lens for the right job (of cource it would be a lot better to just have access to a wide range of state of the art/pro lenses for everything :-). I already found that my 2.8/105mm is tiny bit sharper than the 2.5/135mm. And it would be fun to actually know how much my *ist D can really do. I often tested my SONY against my Pentax bodies. The Sony did (too) well in practice! Now I want to test the *ist D. I guess the right thing is to compare prints as well as digital images (scanned/processed vs. recorded/processed). Finally: 90 lpm is not bad at all, is it. Many lenses can't reslove that much on film.

Do a quick check of the Fuji website (they seem to have the finest grain at the moment, and they actually publish the data), and you will find that somewhere in the range of 90 lmm is about the best you can get. Note 1000:1 is NOT a pictorial application. William Robb
