I think that works out as 54MP on a FF sensor... john ________________________________________ I guess I'm also asking about pixel density limits (eg per cm2) without regard to sensor size. -Lew Schwartz On Oct 22, 2013 3:07 PM, "John McMaster" <john at mcmaster.co.nz> wrote: > I think there will be a limit on what is useful to fit on a 24mm x 36mm > sensor. 36MP already means that diffraction starts about f9, lenses need to > be very good (why Zeiss and Nikon are releasing new more expensive lenses) > and technique needs to be very good to get the best out.
