Sure, there’s tons of variation of course and 87 is the upper limit, but from what I’ve read it’s still the 40-50MP range before you hit the limits of a decent typical 35mm film.
Lens quality does start to become a factor a bit earlier than that too.
- bigdubs 9y agoA lot of the comparisons I've read (and internally Leica's own tests) say otherwise. https://petapixel.com/2014/12/18/comparing-image-quality-film-digital/ https://petapixel.com/2014/12/18/comparing-image-quality-fil...
- abritinthebay 9y agoI mean... in that very article the 80MP camera looks worse than film (tho more sharpened, go go digital image processing!) You appear to have provided counter evidence to your own position.
- bigdubs 9y agoTake a look at the 35mm section, that's explicitly not the conclusion of the article. "The results are very impressive and from our comparisons we think scanned color slide film has a digital equivalent resolution of between 12MP and 24MP depending on what aspect you look at (12MP for overall sharpness appearance, 14-16MP for luminosity resolution, and 24MP for color resolution). These figures are estimates based on a good Imacon or Drum scan and would be even higher for projected or enlarged images." So you're basically reading that and going, well I think I'm right anyway.
