That is the council of perfection but how do you get a pixel sharp BIF even on a tripod? Also I do not routinely carry a tripod on a walk which may be lax but I am not as young and fit as I was (or dedicated enough) so the shutter speed for hand held shots is what matters to me, the old formula never was intended for tripod shots. Print size obviously does come into it as well as the eye of the beholder so as a rough guide it looks better to allow for the 'crop' factor?
