I would think the "best" f stop to use would depend on the
lens. I've never done any experimentation but since most
lenses in my experience reach maximum sharpness stopped down
between 2 and 3 stops from maximum I usually compromise by stopping
down 2 1/2 stops, (awful lot of 'stops' back there).

nope, a 105mm lens for 6X7 is actually 18.7% longer
than the diagonal (88.4 mm). Using a 50mm for 35mm
is only 15.5% longer than the diagonal ( 43.3mm).
Besides just to make an 8X10 my enlarger head
is already about 90% up to the maximun height.
I cant even do 11X14 in the normal setup.

Hello to All,
I recently purchased my first autofocus camera, having
decided to eventually end up with two autofocus
bodies, the ZX5n and the MZ-S. I kept my ZX5n for only

Nitin:
I ~thought~ that all of the K-mount 50/1.4's go to f/22, while all

Hi Aaron ...
You make a good point, and the answer is yes ... but. I'm not a T-Max
shooter, but I have played around quite a bit with Delta 3200, and have
