[LargeFormat] Re: Latest Camera Technology

[michael at haywood-sullivan.com]

Unfortunately, I've seen the final images in detail and they are amazingly 
unsharp for such a large piece of film/large file size. Likely the culprit 
is the lens which might be optimized for copy work rather than infinity. Or 
perhaps in spite of all the cool electronic controls this guy simply doesn't 
get the "art" of photography...
