A little-known benefit of narrow apertures is better &quot;deep color&quot; rendering and freedom from slab glare. Figure your DLA is f7, so if you downsize by 4x you can operate up to f28 and still be diffraction-limited. So up to f11 at 1:1 should still work fine, and will give great DOF as well as improved glare control. Just don&#039;t expect to see sharp details when you pixel peep or crop.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
