I suspect that you would have to do the math on the RMS granularity of the film and compare it with Nyquist to see the upper limit for a specific film.

Clearly, it depends on the film, etc. etc., nonetheless beyond a certain resolution you will have extracted all the information on the film, and after that, it's all noise, no ? Is 5400 DPI approaching that limit ? - - Phong - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
