Yeah, very cool shots - especially the first. Like John says, it's content that does it for me. I've seen really big prints that were technically excellent but not very exciting. I'd rather have an 8x10 that blows me away or even a 16x20 that's got some flaws of an image that really grabs me. Sometimes the things we think of as flaws might add to an image, too...

Both of those photos are wonderful. The first one is absolutely incredible. For me, it's ART - and that's as big a compliment as I can offer. Not only is it aesthetically nice, but it's also suggestive and speaks to the heart and soul. Please, please stick around and share more photos like these!

Maybe our "photographic sensitivities" are different Take a look.

Do you know how many Line pairs per MM you would need to get a better picture from a F10 than a D70?

Lets not forget that the D70 and the F10 have different sensor sizes which are again different from the 24x36 film format that's usually used when talking about resolution in terms of lines/mm.

However if you convert the D70 format to an equivalent of 24x36 then Le Photographe magazine says the resolution is 39 lines/mm (with the 18-70). Usually a film camera+lens will do 50 lines/mm and a top lens will do 63 lines/mm. But then there's the effect of the grain and the fact that in real shooting you never reach the optimum figures with a tripod and special film..
