Because the subject and sensitive material are arranged differently than in camera, it's like if you are taking a picture of someone and "they" moved a millimeter.
If doing reductions, the sharpness zone is working against me again.
My specifics: D2 enlarger, 135mm Xenar f/4.5 at f/11 - 11x14 from 4x5. I do care about subject sharpness but allow softness at the edges.
Drew, I've got a lot of respect for your opinion - if you say I should keep using paper I will.
