The subject line of this reply says: "Foolish Comment In My
Opinion"...heck, It should just say, FOOLISH COMMENT, PERIOD.  I use F16
quite a bit, and before you make the broad statement that F8 has all the
depth you can handle for projectable slides, you need to know what one is
taking a photograph of and the type of scene. I'm sorry, but it is rather
silly to say that F16 leads to unprojectable slides; decades of
photographers will show this to be an absolutely ridiculous statement.
