P3D Realist vs RBT vs SLR's

[markaren@xxxxxxxxx (Karen Obusek)]

I in part disagree with Dr. T's dismissal of sharpness differences
between cameras. Lets assume f 8 for example. I have a garden variety
3.5 Realist in worn condition ( but refurbed by Zak) several Minolta
lenses and 2 Nikkor lenses. I cannot tell a difference between the
Minolta and Nikon lenses in single SLR slidebar work. ( now assume I
mount those in 5p) Taking the Realist shots ( 5p) and comparing in a Red
button viewer...I can see an obvious quality difference in MOST shots
between the Realist and the SLR lenses. Perhaps my Realist is
sub-standard model/ condition etc.
BTW...I had seen Dr T's shot in a Red Button AND projected....and did
NOT know the camera was an RBT S1, but assumed it was a Realist!
I commented to Karen.." I need a new Realist because my images do not
rival this sharpness!"  So.....show me a few 5p S1 images and Realist
images....and I'm guessing that I can tell the difference most of the
time.
Otherwise George...why would you pay big $$$$ for the RBT? To lazy to
carry around that light meter? :-) For $3100 I will follow you around
and carry the meter ( and camera bag) 
And I'll drive. :-)
