Seemed oddly casual. The guy who designed them at least! Would not a lens which had to cover 4x5 inch have a lower rez than one which only had to cover a 43mm crop circle? I mean you don't shot 35mm slides with a JSK Schneider Symmar 150 view camera lens and think its going to have the pop something made for 35mm format would you? Like a 50mm macro (both optics have to be good close in of course. A Symmar is by the way virtually a macro even if it doesn't say so.)
