comes close to 4/5 in quality from 6/7 that is not good enough for what I aspire to in my personal scenic work but more than good enough for commercial applications ...and, gives one the option shoot spontaneous pics of people - or use very long lenses for example but maintain that old fashioned large format feel. ...all pretty redundant of course if one does not try to train ones eyes and brain to have a better than 640 x 480 view of external reality. it will be interesting in the nearish future when such levels of definition are routinely achieved digitally, and with far higher fidelity. already most of the content and detail contained in photographs we make is redundant - unseen by the photographers eyes at the time of shooting and even unwanted, because it detracts from the crude literal requirements of photo visual propoganda. with definition forced on us by equipment that cannot help but record it, what kind of photo/culture will this produce? increased visual sensitivity or just an overpowering tidal wave of mentally corrosive images, who knows philip =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
