What you've suggested holds true for film >and software but not equipment. I'm less concerned how cameras perform in a sterile lab, and more interested in what results experts can obtain. Would you test screws vs. nails by hammering both in? I'd be interested to see differences in finished prints. Using whatever techniques are available to sharpen, reduce vignetting, and/or reduce noise. Whatever is available is fair game. I don't care about 100% pixel views. I care about how an 11x14 print looks from normal viewing distance. I don't care about the sharpness of bricks or how many black and white lines can be resolved. -- Eric http://canid.com/
