Mike-

I'm weak on math...but you hit my hot button...a D1x, w/14mm AF-s 
printed on a Kodak 8660 will match any 35mm traditional film wet 
darkroom print in color, detail and red...at least to my aging eyes 
<g>.

engineers for T-Max 100. Tom and I discussed Austins assertion and re-
read his opinion. It appears that Austin is equating the film grains 
with pixels to get to the 100 megapixel number. We feel that this is 
just not correct. Pixels and grain should not be equated as such. I 
am not an engineer and this stuff is greek to me.
