>> come to think of it, havn't found much percievable difference between any of my 35s (have had a few of them including an olypus xa, stylus, rollei 35s, honeywell sp1000, Leica CL) except when I tried a zoom once. I never photographed a resolution chart though...gotta say that the non-autofocus are a lot faster...All in all though resolution is of secondary importance for what I do. >> ************************************************************************** * I once owned an Olympus XA, but returned it because of extreme light fall-off in the corners, which I think might be typical of any camera in which the lens is close to the film, such as most compact cameras. Before I returned it, I took pictures of the same subject with both the XA and my Nikonos. The slides from the Nikonos had no discernible fall-off, in sharp contrast to those from the XA. It was especially noticeable in slides that included a lot of sky. Incidentally, one of my pet peeves is magazines, books, and newsletter that print photos with crooked horizons. This is especially noticeable in sea kayaking photos. Doesn't anyone know how to crop and rotate a photo anymore?
