Actually the measure is line PAIRS per millimetre so that doubles your
required digital resolution to begin with, besides which you'd want much
more than one pixel width to every line interval in order to record the
subtle gradation from high to low density that characterises film behaviour.

Hi
Sounds like your local lab got a Fuji Frontier, or maybe a Konica or
Noritsu. They are pretty amassing. One problem in printing from digital
media is bit depth. Most cameras only have 8 bits per color per pixel, so
the color palette is not as good as film. Some of the newer cameras are

DOF is a function of reproduction ratio. All that matters is the

When my kit was an ME with a M50/1.7, M135/3.5, and M28/2.8, the M80/2 was a
very welcome addition. Even with a Super Program and an A50/1.4, the M85/2.0
was still a favorite. It made a great combination with the M35/2.0 as fast
glass that fit in my pocket. It wasn't until I found an A100/2.
