>>4374219I understand this all to well with high magnification macro, and autistically trying to optimize my contact prints. Pic is something like f/11 f/16 and f/32 I think. These were taken directly on printing paper, so not as fine grained as film, but the comparison holds for both.
This difference seems fairly extreme, but you can't really tell the difference in a contact print at normal viewing distances.
I took a shot at f96 on my long lens and it is still crispy sharp looking when contact printed.
