["don lopp" <dlopp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

so far it seems to me that  the M.F. is bogged down by useless MTF ,RMS LPmm
and does not pertain to the real wold of 3 D How does one take a sharp
picture of watter? Incidentaly Fuji RMS at 400does quite well but the color
is a bit dull when compaired with my favorite film Velvia. I am of the
opinion that 3 D cannot be put into words and I much prefer to see the real
thing via follio etc.As in 2D photography  an excellent photomay be
technically imperfect but the imperfections are usually ignored by all but
the nit-pickers. Don.
