The only problem with this is that the only way to get that kind of
resolution off either a film or lens is to photograph a resolution target.
In the real world, the best lenses and film are closer to 50 lp/mm.
I think right now, good film and good lenses are pretty closely matched
resolution wise, film may actually have an edge, so to speak.
