The 'Primer' on lenses I always recommend to people is the little appendix section at the end of Canon's book _Lens Work_...if you can abide buying something that says 'Canon' on it. <g> Large structures are, say, 5 lp/mm, perhaps generically the top set of lines on the MTF chart. Some education at: http://www.luminous-landscape.com/lens-contrast.htm (My article "Understanding Lens Contrast.") --Mike "Photography is simple. The only complicated thing is keeping it simple."
