- ars 15y agoHe's comparing the highest quality film known to man. It's also a very slow speed ISO50 film. Higher speed (i.e. more light sensitive) film has nowhere near that level of resolution. Plus his doubling at the end because of RGB is wrong. So the real number is 87MP for this super film, and 36MP for more ordinary (but still high quality) film. More typical consumer film goes even lower. Also his source data of 160 lines is only for very high contrast source material. In more typical scenarios the number is half this (so the MP count is 1/4 of what he said).
