You should be using slow sharp film, preferably a chrome film, and look at the results on a light table with a GOOD loupe. But, in your case, if all you shoot is print film, then you only have to satisfy yourself. Jim ================================================= >> That is very true - Irwin has already illustrated my point that films other than the high resolultion chromes and those B&W under 100ASA have the very neccessary resolution to differentiate the slight differences between the high quality lenses. Since your eye will adjust to thinking that something is sharp & crisp when it really isn't, I personally will use a 25ASA Chrome & project them side by side, as I find the use of a loupe & light table a little awkward.
