<EM>&gt; This is about the resolution of most modern emulsions (unless you are using

<EM>&gt; anything like that resolution. 19th century lenses are incapable of

<EM>&gt; resolving this well, anyway. Such a high resolution would only make sense
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; when scanning documents, or maybe paintings.

<EM>&gt;

<EM>&gt; The resolution of most film images are much poorer than most people

<EM>&gt; realise.

<P>Well, all decent 100ASA slide or negative emulsions are capable
<BR>
of recording in excess of 100 lines/mm, at a contrast of
<BR>
1:1000. That would be 2500lpi. Good lenses can get across maybe
<BR>
about 1200~2000lpi. Keep in mind that the pixels in a film
<BR>
emulsion are scattered (and different in size), so you need a
<BR>
lot more pixels in an orderly rectangular grid to get the same
<BR>
visual resolution.
