My problem was that the vast majority of photographers will understand
unmodified comments about f-stops to refer to
lens 'speed', and that's how I understood your comment.
If talking about the diffraction limited resolving power of a particular focal
length and aperture on a particular
film/sensor size, I believe you must more clearly explain if you don't want to
be misunderstood.

Even on an MF digital sensor? Isn't even generally true on the 5D, in my
experience. Did you not mean to refer to sensor
size, rather than film vs. digital?
