Subject: Re: Pop Photo Resolution Lines Per ?
: But all MTF tests are done using line PAIRS per millimeter. Thus you would convert your x lines per mm into x/2 lp/mm (for comparison purposes)
:
: Further, your math is wrong. 2100/25.4 = 82 lines, which translates into 41 lp/mm. Keep in mind that these tests are at full contrast (i.e. Black lines on white background) so comparison to normal 50% MTF is difficult.

on top of that digital resolution along the x/y axis differs from that on an angle..
so resolution drops further, unlike film resolving power
an example (and this is about as 'actual' an example as there could be!)
resolution= pretty good []=pixel
