filmscanners: RE: Olympus & Nikon

["Jack Jansen" <jackjansen@bwn.net>]

Brian and Tom,
The November, 1978 issue of Modern Photography heralds on the front cover,
"Nikon vs. Olympus: Which is Sharper?"  Keppler's conclusion in the article
inside: "Given two top cameras, Olympus and Nikon, with average, standard
lenses, you won't be able to pick out the pictures [actually slides viewed
with a loupe] made by one or the other based on quality."
