Hi Crafty,

You probably have a greater understanding of these things.

When I did f16 things were starting to show obvious deterioration with the D100 and 18-35 zoom and by f22 fine detail, ie fine details on sailing boats was starting to dissapear altogether. With that camera/sensor/lens combination f13 is the max comfort point for me. D2X with that lens f11 tops and better at f8.

Lots here beyond my understanding - circles of confusion etc.

Perhaps further investigation as you are right about film, f22 and diffraction, so perhaps pixel pitch adds another dimension to that.

Don
