[Leica] Re: pixel density

[imagist3 at mac.com (Lottermoser George)]

Thanks - that's an interesting tech take on the relationship of the  
two cameras. I've essentially done the same thing without thinking  
about pixel density - simply thinking about focal length of the lens  
used relative to the chip size - just like I do with view cameras and  
deciding whether to use 4x5, 5x7 or 8x10 with a given lens.
