I find that the color rendition of the film is more important then the sharpness issue. Contrast would be next. What film were you using? Velvia zits are much nastier than Portra NC zits. The tiffen filters are ok. I've got the number 1 and number 3. The number 3 is a little over the top for my taste, but the #1 is barely discernable with neg film. If I did a lot of softening I'd get a Zeiss Softar. tv - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
