mfogiel said:- at this level of image chain ( Ilford XP2 on the one hand and Nikon Coolscan 9000 on the other) the lenses tested are not a limiting , or even not a greatly differentiating factor. .
This was said already, several times. The question of resolution does not play a role at all here, in this context. ALSO and in general because one cannot expect the lenses to be a limiting factor if film usually can reproduce only 30% of their maximum resolution ?
Tho scans are not suited to compare detail reproduction, because the results are only relative to the scanners performance, the better detail reproduction of the larger neg comes thru in your 100% crops anyway. Prints would tell the whole truth.
