your lenses are outstanding.


This matches my experience with TMX in Microdol-X. Grain
is amazingly fine, actual resolution is very good, but it just
didn't look /sharp/.

Xtol (1:1) gave me much sharper looking results than Microdol-X
at full strength. I somewhat puzzled at how obvious the effect
seemed; everything I think I know tells me to expect more subtle
differences. And yet "appear to be somewhat blurry" only seems
a slight exaggeration of my disappointment with TMX in Microdol-X.
