Aside from all the theory, there is a new thread on the Leica users forum where a user compares picture results from an early 1926 Leica model A (the first successful 35mm still camera) and its original Elmar 50 mm f3.5 uncoated lens, using Portra 160 film, to a Leica M10 (24mp) camera with modern lens. Not pixel-peeping, but the pictures from the 1926 lens compare quite favorably under his shooting conditions and use.

For 40 years Kodak displayed 18 ft. X 60 ft. color transparencies in Grand Central Station in NYC. While the were originally taken on 8" x 20" negatives, eventually a number were shot on 35mm Kodachrome. So ultra enlargements existed in film days. Of course, these were positioned to view the entire mural at once, but it still shows what 35mm Kodachrome could do.
