I also wondered about the "buzz" about those resolution numbers when
I first saw them mentioned on one of the Fred Miranda forums several
days ago. Several of the forum members seemed ready to ditch their
older Zeiss Contax lenses to buy these new wonders when they
eventually become available. Since they would be using them on Canon
5Ds and 1Ds Mk IIs where the sensors are limited to 50 to 60 lpmm it
seems to be a bit of overkill to me to lust after a lens with a
resolution of 300+ lpmm. Even back when I shot Velvia and scanned it
with a Polaroid SS4000 about the best resolution numbers I saw during
lens tests were between 60 and 65 lpmm so I don't think film use is
the answer either. Maybe Moose is right and it is more marketing
hype than any kind of practical application.
Later,
Johnny
