	I have a question on view camera lens. I read somewhere that
large format lenses are not as sharp as those for, say, 35mm cameras. Is
this true? If so, is it a physics problem, or is just that more people
buy 35mm cameras than view cameras?

	As long as I'm asking, does anyone know of a negative densitometer
(for black and white) that doesn't cost an arm and a leg? Or perhaps where 
I could get a set of negatives of known densities? I'd like to be able to 
figure out the development times for various film, developer, and push/pull 
combinations.

		Thanks

by drawing an imperfect circle - your circle - you will bungle
the whole thing.
