Re: How is grain related to the sharpness of the lens used.

[Peter J. Alling]

Grain is unrelated to the sharpness of the lens.  It's a characteristic 
of the film and processing procedure.

Hi All,
Using films of an ISO 400 to 80, I'm trying to figure out if there 
would be more grain visible when using a lower quality lens or a zoom 
versus a decent prime. For eg. would I see more grain while shooting 
the same shot with a 28-105 at 50 v/s a 50mm 1.7 both at 5.6? Are the 
two related factors?

TIA

During a war you get to drive tanks through the sides of buildings
