It lives on in the hearts of the Actually, they know very well about diffraction. But it's not a big deal with large format lenses. They tend to be longer in focal length, and the longer the focal length, the smaller the aperture has to be for diffraction to be trouble. Combine that with the larger negative, and f/64 is very useable. The problem is for us who use wide lenses in 35mm. Like my 19mm 2.8. Diffraction can be quite severe at f/22. I'll have to check it. ========== Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch HEADLINE: Red Tape Holds Up New Bridge
