Response to out of focus film

Volker, this is the objection I have to all these tests and colimators etc. To me the end result is what matters, and MY prints have great sharpness and tonal range with T max and the hassy lenses at 16 or 22. Now have I noticed that the negatives are not as sharp as those of my LF....of course, BUT, and here is the big BUT...the results on the print are great. Whether this is "real" sharpness, or "apparent" sharpness, or "contrast" sharpness...I don't care. My answer to Josh was that "I" do not suffer from the objections you have in reference to both T max films and the hasselblad lenses...my prints printed at about 6x6 inches look great.....If this is not your experience, well I am sorry for you, I don't know what to tell you or why this is....I was telling Josh MY experience both with the film and camera and MY results. For some reason you have taken offense that I am happy with my results and that I disagree with you about the sharpness and tonal range of the film as well as the difraction problem with the lenses...look, relax....you see it, I don't...some say potato some say potaato...good luck to you.
