============================================================
Don't make such blanket conclusions about the Canon 50
f/1.2. Many years ago one of the salemen at the old St.
Louis Photo made a 24x36 enlargement of a small portion of
a negative of a shot of a BMW motorcycle. The negative
showed the whole bike nicely framed. The print was just
one cylinder and part of the engine! There was nothing
soft about that picture.
I haven't seen Steve in many years. But I seem to
remember the print was made in a teaching session to show
film and developer combinations for fine grain.
Yes, I was amazed too.
