besides of what NB said, there is a whole lot to lens technology then just how light sensitive it is. For instance most peps don't know that lens manufactures have to struggle with a variety of issues that most don't expect... The sharpest lens would not allow any color rendition (ever wondered why true colors of NASA images were B&W?) thus they all have to compromises: how much color do we let in v. how sharp should the lens be.
- source on the nasa info? 'cause that sure doesn't sound right...Mr_Fantastic
- nasa's from the moon being b&w had to do with limitations of the film tech during the moon landing missions.Mr_Fantastic
- all other b&w images have to do with the fact hey're trying to capture select wavelengths of light....Mr_Fantastic
- yes, as other wavelengths would make the stuff less sharp. Look up Panavision's videos about lens technology.pr2
