Was lurking on DPR for the first time in a week, thanks for the well wishes by the way
, and i stumbled across this interesting article.
Do Sensors “Outresolve” Lenses?
Assuming i have read the article correctly it suggests that 15mp on a APS-C DSLR is the limit in terms of what the best lenses can resolve.
If this is in fact the case it would explain why my FA 50 f1.4 doesn't seem to perform in better, in terms of image resolution on my K20D then it did on my K10D. That the limit for that particular lens my lie some where between. While i noticed this with the 50 i did a test with my dad's FA 50 f1.4, as well as a M 50 f1.4 and a 1.7 and noticed no decernable difference in the lenses.
The comments about the higher quality lenses seems to track as i have noticed improvements with the FA limiteds and the 16-50 and 50-135 that shows the extra 50% resolution of the sensor on the K20D.
