[Leica] Comparing film and digital resolution

[hlritter at bex.net (Howard Ritter)]

Oh, I absolutely agree. The film images in my repertoire that please me the 
most don?t depend on resolution to do so (sometimes not even focus ;-).
For example, the images of the skateboarders in London (link just now 
posted) would not be improved in the least by tack-sharp resolution, any 
more than by a shutter speed that would have frozen the boarder in mid-air.

Marginal detail does way less to degrade an image well seen and captured 
than the best detail can possibly improve a mediocre one.

As a geek, as well as realizing that many applications do benefit from 
however great a degree of resolution can be achieved, I just wanted to look 
at how our technologies stacked up, both within themselves and compared to 
each other.
