Right. and yes film res and lens res combine to give a lower "lens on film" res. Digital sensors are different than film in that the diagonal and horizontal and vertical film resolutions are all the same, not true for most digisensors... JCO

It seems to me that most hurled darts at Boris had to do with flash. The "Available Light" contingency smote him. That's kinda bad. I've seen a LOT of "available light" photos that I don't think much of. But I thought GrayWolf was both brave (Old?) and kind in his review. Keith Whaley wrote: gray

It's not as if someone else has taken over the list or that anyone is actively suppressing "film" talk. As someone here mentioned once, any hobby magazine starts to run out of new things to teach you every few years. The richest source of new data, techniques, and general news is digital, so of c

True, yet you passed judgment without an explanation. So, imo, it's not a critique, just an opinion. And there's nothing wrong with expressing an opinion, nothing at all. In fact, you yourself note that your comments were just an opinion. BTW, thanks for you far more in depth critique ... she
