A 645 original is 2.5 times the size of a 35mm original. So I suppose that any COF that is less than 2.5 times as large in a 645 optic will make a print of a given size look sharper than a corresponding print made from a 35mm optic. But I'm on thin ice here...:-)

I would suspect that other factors may influence the apparent sharpness as well, such as chromatic aberrations. I imagine that a 645 lens would have to be better CA corrected than a corresponding 35mm lens.

Jostein.
I guess that's what I meant. COF is defined according to the wanted
englargement. So, a plausible COF should not be the same for MF and 35mm. Or
should it?
