Recently on eBay a couple of photos emerged of the view from the LM simulator at 4000' and 1800':

Now compare that with the view shown in the ebay listing for the 250 foot image (I won't post one as it has the vendor's watermark all over it).
The detail itself isn't a problem, the Lunar Orbiter view from which it is taken is a match for that, but it looks as thought there is more detail there than in the other one - the 1800' image just doesn't seem to have the same information in it. Is it just a function of the camera getting closer or did they have different models for different elements of the descent?
