Shoot backlit, frontlit, sidelit, etc.; indoors, outdoors...any kind of shot you might encounter. Judge the results for yourself. There are simply too many outstanding, acclaimed, published photographers out there of diametrically opposing opinion on the UV controversy, with no clear plurality that I have been able to discern. Perhaps Erwin will run an MTF test for us! Regards, Nigel On Wed, 18 Nov 1998 13:44:16 -0000 Jeremy Kime <jeremy.kime@bbc.co.uk> writes: >So my verdict ends up with : >1.
