SNIPIt'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.
Dear John
As a large format user and by that I mean minimum of 6x7cm this interests me, as often I am using f32 particularly where deep room sets are concerned, and that's with using movements too. Are you saying that if for example I were to use a scan back on 4"x5" instead of shooting film that I would get a reduced sharpness given the above? Can you quantify this if this really is the case?
Cheers
