Having seen up close nearly a dozen Sexton prints, they are not  
overly sharp. The same can be said for A. Adams images, of which I've  
seen over a couple dozen. They are more interested in tonality, a  
remnant from the early days of uncoated lenses, graded papers, and  
scratch mixed chemistry.
A lowly Irving Penn print from 2? can blow theirs out the water  
without any effort.

Should be a good film, but they are using John Sexton to promote who  
usually shoots large format so of course it will be sharp!
