80-100lpmm! seems that it is better than the center resolution of all
lenses from Contax AF 645 MF camera I have seen from pop photo test.
The LF lenses must be a magic! If you are talking about aerial
resolution, may be, I'm not sure. If on film resolution, I really
doubt. Check what photodo said about MF/LF resolution, they are not
much better than 35mm.
