But with the introduction of the Kodak 14Mpx SLR, it would seem like you
can get what you never thought possible before, Medium format quality in a
35mm SLR.
I am still not sure that the lens would resolve that much though in a 35mm
lens...

Well, we should stop soon before other OM listers kick us out for taking
over the list into a digital list! But,.... it is clear to me anyway that
with the 13-MP/14-MP 1Ds from Cannon and DC-14n from Kodak, the only two
major factors preventing mass migration to digitals are 1) High Cost.
Kodak's $5000 and Cannon's $9000. These are without lens! and 2) Massive
wonderbricks. We are talking about 3 to 4 lbs worth of machinery on your
hand. Add a flash and you're talking about 4-5 pounds! Hang THAT on your neck.
As for the lens, it can be reformulated if needed be. Also, I thought the
bottleneck is the film resolution of the 35mm and not the lens? Then again,
I know next to nothing about lens design...
