Fungus looks more symmetrical. That looks like lint to me. Too much sense of depth to the smaller piece. Assuming that it is lint ... Check the focusing screen. If that's not it then remove the focusing screen and try a light poof of air to blow it out. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List

I keep checking in on 'em from time to time, but so far the only 4x5 film they've got is some expired Type 57. It looks like they're concentrating on films for the SX-70 type cameras so far. Supposedly they've made an 20x24 SX-70 type process film that works in the big Polaroid camera, and

I'm surprised the K7 pic is as sharp as it is, given that it was shot at f13, where you're going to get a lot of diffusion. Try it at f5.6 or so. What stop did you shoot the 6x7 pic at. And what lens. You list an 80/2.8. I assume you mean the 90/2.8? Paul On Jan 1, 2011, at 2:07 PM, Jens

There is no fair resolution comparison because the systems are so different. There is chemical information on a larger negative wich cannot be duplicated on digital because it is simply not present. Likewise, digital information takes to enlargement much better than does film (in most

Thinking about it further, the real and only reason to shoot with Medium Format film today is, for me, to work with the very different coupling of Field of View and Depth of Field it affords compared to small-format (FourThirds, APS-C and so-called full frame) digital cameras. -- Godfrey
