Title: 35mm Lens resolving Power / Digital SLR
Post by: Bruce on January 29, 2003, 01:07:23 pm

Hi,

I've been hearing recently that the current top level sensors (such as the one in the 1DS) are now exceeding the capabilities of the lenses that are available.

Firstly, I would like to ask - is this true?

Secondly, if this is the case, then does anyone have any theories as to where this may lead? For example, does this mean that we have eeffectively reached a new watershed that can only be improved upon with better designed lenses? Will there be a need to increase the sensors ability to capture detail?

Bruce.
