Re: Nikon IV or Cannon FS4000

[Jerry Olson <jerryolson@xxxxxxx>]

Kennedy, the Canon Macro lens is one of the worlds sharpest lenses (for
regular photography, not NASA). Pop Photo said about a year ago that it
was the sharpest lens it ever tested, and was the only lens to get an A+
rating at a print size of 16x24. 

It is certainly the sharpest lens I have ever used in 35 years of
photography. So I'm quite confident my negative is sharp. You may be
right about anti aliasing though. In any case, I returned the scanner,
and will just keep on with my canon for awhile longer.
