      I would assume because it’s related to educating someone about why optical lenses can give an incredible amount of detail that digital just can’t compete with. But that’s just a guess and that might not even be enough for this forum

        Also, because posts like this drive really informative comment sections like this thread. I promise there’s a method to the madness.

        What’s a digital lens exactly?.. The only thing I can think of are in some point& shoot cameras and phones they have fake factorial zooms that are just cropping into the resolution.

        you people do understand it is fake, and if you zoom on the top right eye, it is not the same as bottom right, right?

        ok, so to my surprise, it seems to be possible. the difference in the eye may be result of multiple layers of shitty jpeg compression.
