menos I M6 Posted March 17, 2011 Share #41 Posted March 17, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) With a microscope it is even better. You missed my point entirely - take a big reading loupe and hold it over one of your prints, that is made from a shot, not with f16, but f2/ f2.8. You'll be amazed by what you see.

lct Posted March 17, 2011 Share #43 Posted March 17, 2011 Just kidding Menos. Not my way of watching photos. I prefer a good monitor. YMMV. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xmas Posted March 17, 2011 Share #44 Posted March 17, 2011 Hi An MTF chart is much more interesting than any photo... except for a BP MP photo Noel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pico Posted March 17, 2011 Share #45 Posted March 17, 2011 An MTF chart is much more interesting than any photo... Yes, especially an MTF chart of a really bad lens - the lines dive and differ so much! At its best, it is almost like watching a combined drinking-contest/Alpine skiing event. Next: Yoga and military aerial resolution charts - it is not your fathers' meditation. . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
anabasis Posted March 17, 2011 Share #46 Posted March 17, 2011 I enjoy a good print, but I don't make any. The reason for me is storage, I just don't have the room to deal with hundreds of prints. I have no where to put or display many prints, so I just don't make them. I prefer to go to galleries to enjoy prints and avoid the hassle. For example, I took over 200 photos of the St. Patrick's Day parade last weekend but won't make a single print. My favorites were posted on Flickr for those who care to look, and I will view them on the computer screen. While it is a waste in resolution (my DSLR is 12 MP), the overall IQ and handling is far superior to my 6 MP camera from 2003, which is why I like it more even if I don't make big prints. My absolute favorite way to view my photographs is to pull out my slide projector and wait until it is dark and view them that way. A majority of images with my Leica gear are on low ISO slide film and I prefer to view them projected. They are nice on the lightbox, but projection has a certain magic to it. An added bonus to slides over prints is that you can easily scan slides and they don't take up much room to store either. Keep shooting. JCA Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergius Posted March 18, 2011 Share #47 Posted March 18, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Did anybody ever enjoy the exploration of a wonderful print or book with a big handheld loupe? Could you suggest to me an handheld loupe ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
