Thanks for your correction, Guy. I do in fact see your e-mail that
states that the condenser NA only affects brightness and not resolution.
Would you happen to have a reference, either an article or a text book,
that discusses this so I can try to understand your argument better? You
can e-mail it to me off list if you'd like.
Thanks again everyone for your help,
Kyle
