Thanks, John, for completing such a test- i was curious as to the results myself.(posted 8425 days ago)I think it would be worth noting that 35mm lenses generally have much higher resolution than medium format, and definitely large format-
THE CLOSER THE LENS IS TO THE FILM, GENERALLY THE SHARPER IT CAN BE DESIGNED- Carl Zeiss' 80/2.8 for the 6x6 can't reach half the resolution of a Carl Zeiss 50/1.4 for 35mm.(Test results by Popular Photography, Nov.'95, pg.82,83; LENSES @ f/8, Tmax 100; Zeiss 50/1.4 = 110 lines/mm, 80/2.8 = 47 lines/mm.
Obviously grain size would keep us from taking the above to an extreme- but presents the question for me-
What is the Ideal Format?
