Assuming you had film and digital sensors of same resolution/mm spec, a FF film image will be sharper than a APS digtial sensor until the lens used with the APS sensor is 50% sharper than the lens used on film. With APS digital you need really good lenses to match average lenses on FF film. Reason is you are using shorter focal length lenses and magnifying the central portion only with APS digital. JCO

(Re: Pentax is Dying) Do you attribute this to rather unforgiving square pixels in digital as versus the softer random edges in film grain? Most of my lenses are in the adequate/good/very good category, I'd hate to think I'd get less from them than I do now by going digital.
