As I said earlier, if you can display or print without ressing-up the
image then you didn't need the resolution that you sacrificed to f/16 by
not shooting at f/11. If you shoot at f/16 you've still got a 7MP
image. Better than an E1 and almost as good as any digital camera up
until the last couple of years. Furthermore, to make it painfully
evident that you'd lost the resolution you'd probably have to shoot one
of AG's USAF line charts. :-)
