The believe that because something is sharper, it has more resolution...and that is not a correct assumption. > I consider your point of view and I consider their point of view. The results are what is important, for the job at hand, of course. I entirely understand that. There are a lot of "overnight" self proclaimed "experts" on the subject...and this makes for a lot of misunderstanding and misinformation. There are also a lot of people who "want" digital to be their "savior". It's a funny thing. That same thing works with camera makes too ;-) > And I suspect that, as usual, between any extreme opinions one > may find a sense of something close to truth. I believe there is no one truth, in the sense of what is "better", as that is subjective. What may work well for one person, may not for another. But, there is reality...and I find it funny that, for some reason, with this particular subject, people make claims that physically are not possible...and I believe it's important to challenge, what I consider, misbegotten claims. I simply believe it's important when evaluating this stuff to have accurate claims and statements, not ones with out solid footing...and blanket claims...like so many unfortunately are. I, personally, am not on either side...they both have their advantages and disadvantages. Regards, Austin - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
