Hi Brian,
I now have a better appreciation of your lens and the capabilities of it and
its accessories. That looks like a nice setup, even with the resolution of
the E-1. I find it fully adequate if I can use the full image, without much
cropping. Of course, I seldom make prints, and never anything larger than
8x10 inches.
