The new Nikon D800(E) produces 36MP shots out of the camera and I always wonder how they compare with medium format digital back(MFDB) outputs like Hasselblad H3DII-39. In the camera world, size matters!!! In the film world, film size matters!!! In the digital world, the sensor size matters!!! The question is about the 35mm format lenses. Can they produce 36MP cable images? I am not going to even try to answer this question. Here are some of the charts that I use to compare/discover the resolution of the lenses and camera sensors.
