On the other hand, you might want to not worry overmuch about the theory of things. Knarf had an interesting quote in his signature about sharpness. Nine years ago I went to burning man for my 50th birthday. I shot about eight rolls of film in my Argus and about ten times as many frames with my DSLRs. The photos taken with the DSLRs were significantly sharper, and cleaner in pretty much every measurable way than the photos with taken with the Argus, but one thing I realized was that artistically they weren’t any better. There are times when a lack of sharpness can negatively impact a photo, however if that is because the print is too big, then just display the photo someplace that people can’t leave nose prints on it from looking at it that closely. -- Larry Colen [email protected] -- 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.
