I've never found "resolution to spare" with any lens. I always want more. I would like to get 4x5 usability out of my 35mm but it just isn't there yet.

That must mean that if you're using E100 or Provia or TMax400 or whatever, you've got a ways to go degrading the lens' performance before it'll show on the film ; ) I know what you mean about 4x5 usability from 35mm. (My friend who shoots 8x10 says the same lament about 4x5.) I'd like 4x5 usability from 35mm *and* 35mm usability from 4x5 (try shooting sandhill cranes in flight with one!) DT
