Re: airy disk

It was a problem for my great-grandfather, but he was shooting in the 1890’s with a very nice (then) 162mm f11 lens but which today would be seen as a pos.

right so the question being WHO and WHEN has it been a problem for?   At what point is it an issue.   Since I shoot with a huge leaf back digitally for most work and my carry around camera i never below probably f16 at most its just something I have never even though about in any other sense then.  Wow that 5d landscape looks soft I don't want one of those.    

Has anyone ever found that the amount of diffraction is so great that just sharping a bit doesn't deal with the problem.

The article in the link gives more than enough information for people to decide when a combination of conditions become a problem.  There is no set rule for this, and anyway, depending on the intent of the photographer, what is a problem condition for one photographer may be an optimum condition for another.

Is this really a problem for anyone?  At what point is it really practically(and not mathematically) a problem in photography
