You are probably quite right Mick but from what standard do you measure this from?

David Malins famous unsharpmask emulsion shot:

Rob Gendlers masterpiece:

or maybe Hubble:

or as we would have expected it to look using hypered film in the 80’s? (this was actually done in 1997 but you know what I mean)
