It's not a yes or no proposition. As the history of photography shows us, it's seldom about the equipment. It's a question of subject matter, camera movements, aperture and expectations. The wide angle lens has a tougher task optically and only one advantage: that is, it doesn't need to be stopped down as far to get DOF. Digital shooting favors stopping down only 1-2 stops after which diffraction begins to degrade image quality.
There is a lot of theory on this subject but rather than trying to understand it all, I prefer to test shoot . > > From: John Cole <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: 2003/12/30 Tue AM 04:05:25 CST > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [PRODIG] Sensor Sizes on LF backs > > At 03:57 30/12/2003, you wrote: > >Wide angle lenses made for digital backs work well, digital lenses have > >larger rear elements > > The ability to resolve detail smaller than the pitch of the actual > > pixels on the > >array is necessary to prevent artifacting and lack of detail.
