Ian,
        I'm by no means an expert on MF lenses, but since it's a slow
Friday afternoon I'll put in my half pence. While there may be some
exception ('Blads and other hallowed brands) 35mm lenses are *sharper*
than MF lenses and must be so to have a chance of producing a decent
image with so little film. MF achieves its wonderful images by sheer
brute force of square inches of film.

Perhaps I shouldn't have because it has got me confused, but is the 
quality of medium format lenses bette than 35mm, I mean if the resulting

image from a medium format is better than 35mm do the lenses resolv
more.

I bought a second hand bronica  etrsi about 12 years ago and have only 
put 3 rolls of film in it, partly because I lost the manual and didn't 
now how to use it and partly because of time, anyway I used it for the 
recent car pictures and spurred on I have just loaded another film into 
and handed it to my wife who promply declared its 3d, so I looked again 
and sure enough it does have a more 3d look to it, then I looked at the 
lens and the rear element doesn't look that much larger than some of my 
zuikos, so then I started wondering about resolution.

i.e. if as discussed before we are reaching the limits at 35mm why do 
they sell more 22 megapixel backs for medium format.
