Hi John,
Of course this perspective assumes that achieving "realism" is the mission of the photographer, however it's not in all instances. The point of the initial post and the responses echoed in many of the subsequent posts to the thread indicated that absolute sharpness doesn't necessarily make a good image. Don't you agree :-) Cheers, Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://members.ozemail.com.au/~distudio/publications.html
