This is an interesting link, but I think the equipment and methodology are
somewhat flawed. I quote from the link:
"If you read my image detail pages, note that I used consumer grade
cameras
and older used large format lenses for my tests. For example, for my Mount
Sneffels Reflection test scene, I used a Sigma zoom lens on a Canon Elan
camera. For the 4x5 image, I used an old velostigmat uncoated lens. So, I
believe the results derived are what most camera users can achieve. The
one
caveat is that for the fine grained film test, like Fujichrome Velvia, I
stop my 35mm lenses to their optimum performance level (usually f/11) and
I
use a tripod."
A Sigma zoom lens is not representative of what a professional 35mm movie
zoom lens can produce in term of resolution. Movie cameras are almost
always
used on a tripod.
The 4x5 lens used is likewise inferior (old velostigmat uncoated lens).
