And relatively small prints. IME, the low resolution of the SIMA does
not lend itself to large prints. They tend to break up as they go
larger. Sorry, but I can't come up with a better description. At
first I thought it was a film problem but after I compared SIMA pix
with a traditional lens using an SF filter the difference was, well,
clear.
That said, in small prints, (<8x12), it is indeed a lot of fun and can
produce interesting pix.
I agree with Moose; to my eye the SIMA handles highlights differently
than a filtered image. Of course, my standard for comparison for SF
lenses are the disk based M@miyas which are similiar to the classic
Imagons.
