  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

image sensor size and lens resolution

pixel size 30.7mm / 6144 px = 0.005 mm
which gives 200 ln/mm, which is 100 lp/mm

The Nyquist resolving limit would be at 10 microns (100 lp/mm).

Not many lenses can achieve such performance consistently across the entire frame especially at wider apertures. But, they may be fine at f/5.6.

Besides, you don't want the lens to resolve 200 lp/mm, but you do want a lens that has decent contrast at around 50 lp/mm spatial frequency.

We have done hundreds of lens testing using SFR (spacial frequency response) charts and produced MTF at various points in the frame at various f - stops and can do so as a service for your specific lens.

Also, we have been able to resolve beyond the Nyquist limit of the sensor, like this 8k sample frame grab: http://www.flickr.com/photos/achtel/8839311952/

And, for that you do need a lens to resolve 200 lp/mm :)
