Resolving power is not spread over the image (lenses are
essentially holographic devices). The medium format lens
simply has a wider field of view. Older MF lenses may not
have been as highly corrected as 35 mm lenses, but in these
days of CAD/CAM the resolving power of the lenses are
essentially the same. Furthermore, the MF lens on a 35mm or
Digital camera is only using the center of the image which
tends to be sharper than the corners. There is no reason,
with modern lenses, for the MF lens to be less sharp than
the 35mm lens.
