[Leica] New Q2 in Macro Mode

[Don Dory]

With an outstanding lens high pixel pitch sensors are retraining all of
us.  In the days of Tri-X you needed to use the whole frame.  With the
sensors today and the software able to uprez a file new freedoms await us
all.  We just need to spend on better and better lenses.

Someone is getting ready for this.  Back maybe a year ago the Lensrental
Blog talked about testing lenses at over 200 lp/mm when the high standard
today is around 50.  Lenses that were excellent at 50 barely made the cut
at 225 lp.  Planning ahead is a wonderful thing if you aren't footing the
bill.
