I did, I said that: "With a good film, the lens sets the limit, especially when using small apertures."
Others have given more detailed explanations regarding diffraction limits and imperfect lenses. Yes, there are some great lenses out there, but you only get 200 lp/mm at the optical centre of perfect lenses at large apertures. This is not what you usually have in your bag, and you don't use a perfect tripod you probably wouldn't obtain it any way. DagT > Fra: "J. C.
