Higher resolution sensors are more unforgiving the further away from the optimal aperture you get, @ f/22 everything will be basically mush on a 400Mp Multi-shot digital back. The advantage of higher resolution sensors is that for a given print size diffraction can be masked when the image is down-scaled and sharpened for the relevant output media.
Originally posted by cdd29 I posted this in another forum and someone mentioned that the image suffers from diffraction due to being shot at f/22. I cant see anything noticeable other than diffraction spikes from the light beacon. I do plan on going out with this set up and do some testing with different f stops to see if I can tell any difference.
Good, do these tests for yourself and identify the optimal aperture of your lenses, F/8~f/11 is a common range where a vast majority of medium format lenses perform well. I'd also recommend doing tests at different focus distances as some lenses particularly telephoto lenses can sometimes suffer from increasing aberrations as they approach MFD.
