...It's my guess that in a real world test, a sensor like the Phase One IQ280
and/or the Mamiya Chuck mentions will resolve about as much visible detail
as any practical film in the Mamiya 67. When you get through shooting,
processing, scanning, Raw conversion, etc., and get down to peeking at the
images, the fine detail of leaves, cloth, eyelashes, and so on, the large
difference in simple theory numbers will boil down to little difference.
We film geeks like to talk about resolving ability of film over
digital and technically, and mathematically, it is true. However, in
actual practice, it isn't.

Eeeek! Now where did I put my "AG Agrees with the Moose" T-shirt?
