There is too much emphasis on sharpness in photography. A lot of people who
consider themselves photographers simply because they have stopped the lens
down far enough to get everything in focus are misguided. Sharpness comes
in a distant third behind light and composition.

How long does it take you to scan MF images? I'm planning on purchasing a
