Hi Don,

That would be excellent!  Please contact me when you find the article.  I'd
like to know the particulars.

One of the issues I have with that claim (40 lp/mm) is if film is, say, 40
lp/mm without a tripod etc, and you are enlarging a 35mm negative to an
8x10, that is an ~8x enlargement, and therefore you really only can get 5
lp/mm on the paper!  Something's up with that.  The larger the enlargement,
the lower the lp/mm you can print...

Thanks,

Austin
