Re: [Digital BW] Print Quality From A Nikon D1

2002-05-29 by Jerry Olson

Moreno,

The Closeups are razor sharp, and are equal in quality to 100 ISO films.
(in 12x18 inch prints). The Landscapes don't resolve that much detail at
infinity, because there is just not enough room on the sensor to capture
all that fine detail far from the camera. If this isn't the correct
reason, Austin can supply it, as he is very technically minded, and I'm
not.  The same thing is evident in film cameras. Landscapes don't hold
the sharpness or detail that closeups do.

This is quite evident in 13x19 prints, not evident in 8x12 prints.
