the recorded image from smaller digital format will have slightly more DOF. The resolution of the prints made from each depends on the lens and sensors, but in general the film full frame would have higher resolution in most cases.

Or are we going to throw the resolution of the negative vs the resolution of the sensor into the equation? (I know that optically the image thrown on the sensor will be smaller [x.667] than the image on the film) Joseph McAllister Lots of gear, not much time http://gallery.me.com/jomac http://web.me.com/jomac/show.me/Blog/Blog.html -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
