There's a good interactive demo of what diffraction does at:

For camera type, pick a camera that has a similar pixel density to
yours. The D200 is about halfway between the D2X and EOS20D/350D so
you'll have to guestimate

You'll see that at f/32, your 10MP D200 is only able to resolve the
same detail as an around 2.5MP camera used at a non-diffraction
limited aperture.

Very good interactive tool, and does highlight the benefit of using the
NG filters. Thanks for the response.

I also looked at the using the Lightroom preset landscape sharpening
option after the batch convert, and it did improve the clarity and
sharpness of the small jpg's.

Feel free to critique and make any suggustions




I hope you didn't take my "critique" the wrong way. I liked those
waterfall photos much more than many photos you have posted because to
me most of them looked as they would if you were strolling in the woods
and came across the site. I was a little surprised by what I perceived
as "soft" focus, though, because I know you don't usually have a problem
with that. Well, not with your camera, anyway! :)
