You don't compose an image because of textures, you compose because of larger patterns and shapes in most cases. When you blow them up. Its all there! A contact sheet looks exactly like what you would expect to see. Don't expect any negative surprises, you probably won't get them. I just got a new 135! My eyes aren't particularly terrific. But i can see the whole frames with my glasses on! Mark Rabiner
