Another opinion... prints (lower resolution) better than chromes... don't
bother shooting at anything less than f/16; f/22 seems best. A tripod seems
to be a must...

Someone (John B?) ran the numbers on this camera once upon a time... my
recollection is that the total system resolution for MF Sputnik work is only
marginally better than, say, a 7 perf Belplasca or FED...
