[meteorite-list] Meteorite Photography (Must read!)

[Meteorites USA]

Without seeming to endlessly argue with the data presented. I would like 
to point out the the sharpness examples in the link you provided are 
taken from a VERY small percentage of the overall image. In relation to 
the entire photo taken as a whole the sharpness of the image is 
comparable at any given area over an "average".

Macro meteorite photography works the same way, and I would bet that 99% 
of people who view any photo don't look at such a small section of the 
entire photo. This is fine when shopping for a lens, but for most 
photos, frankly it does not matter much. Especially when talking about 
web galleries of images at 72 DPI. Now when talking about print 
resolution and sharpness that's a whole other topic. ;)

Regards,
Eric
