Boris, Well, back in the college, the instructor in the optics class started the first lecture by drawing what he called the best known optical device in nature, an eye. At least half if not the entire lecture was on the structure of an eye as an optical element and how it works. The human eye has huge dynamic range, rather large range of apertures, rather wide angle of vision (which however works differently from that of cameras and lenses).
The numbers I see posted vary. See e.g. the last posting of this thread: http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=294691 and these articles: http://www.clarkvision.com/imagedetail/eye-resolution.html http://www.photosig.com/articles/585/article Hehe... Sorry for the [not extremely] serious response to a humorous comment. After teaching my 8am class, I must be still in the "lecture mode" :-) Igor Tue Apr 28 08:14:23 EDT 2009 Boris Liberman wrote: Now, Igor, you will have to perform proper testing, such as throwing the eye against the brick wall, measure the MTF and maximum (and probably minimum too) aperture... ;-) -- 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.
