[Leica] PIXEL PITCH SIZE

[richard at imagecraft.com (Richard Man)]

Well, Mark also says on another thread that unsharp mask is magic, so now we
are back to why bother with best lens if a cheaper $795 f/0.95 lens can look
good with unsharp mask :-)

Mark is very consistent on any singular topic ("M8 sux, M9 great", "4/3
sux", "large sensors good") but sometimes not so much across different
threads.
