But if you're comparing 11x14's a 35mm neg has to be blown up 10 times and a 4x5" format twice; So you end with a print which resolves just as well if not better than smaller formats. Mount a Hasselblad Zeiss lens on your Leica R and that would be an issue with that. A print which will end up not resolving as well as if you used glass made for the smaller format. As is using glass designed for 36x24 on half frame or aps-c negs. As a lens designed for that smaller format should be sharper; And more compact. And cheaper And lighter Mark William Rabiner > From: Bob Adler <rgacpa at yahoo.com> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Date: Tue, 31 Mar 2009 09:20:06 -0700 (PDT) > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] Hartblei tilt shift rotation lenses get Zeiss name > > Thanks Bruce.
