>>4451806You people asking for examples are legitimately retarded.
CMS 20 is rated for 800lp/mm.
One pixel can't resolve a line pair. You need at least two, and probably want more. More is always better. For the absolute minimum you must have two. This means you need 1600 pixels per millimeter to resolve 800 line pairs, under ideal tests.
Simple math tells you that means you need 2.2GP and will probably want 8.8GP to properly digitize it. That's for 35mm.
36mm width gets you 57600 pixel width at 1600 pixels/mm
24mm height gets you 38400 pixel height at 1600 pixels/mm
Sampling at 3200 pixels/mm will give better contrast resulting in 115200x76800 pixels of 8.8GP.
CMS 20 is fine and other films resolve less but some films resolve even more.
Arguments about limits are only relevant in respect to 35mm format. What film offers for larger formats like 4x5 are effectively infinite even for high ISO films. Your optics and shooting outside of a lab will never saturate film's resolving capabilities and film will never be the limiting factor. Digitizing it is.
