I advise people to do some careful research to find the truth re resolution. I could say 87 coupe has no idea what resolution is, but I won't... maybe he is thinking of the Hassy digital backs -- but of course the proper comparo there is to 21/4 film not to 35 mm.
Finally - your words will no doubt appear more convincing if you learn that "your" is a possessive, and not a contraction of "you are."

First - I did get the lens right. I was unable to tell from a quick glance that the first two were not Voigtlander - hardly important. The point still stands that there are many worthy "aftermarket" lenses.
Second - Nostatic already corrected you with regards to the cost / rarity of the lenses.
And: 21/4 is a medium format, and is definitely an improper comparison given digital camera sensor sizes. Comparing digital to 35mm film (the only "consumer" film) is the proper format and many digital cameras now surpass 35mm film resolution. Once you get past 16 or so megapixel you've passed even Velvia 50 in 35mm.
Finally - Saying "film" is about as specific as saying "car". Real photographers refer to sizes, such as 35, 4x5, 6x17, 8x20, etc, but never "film". If YOU'RE going to correct someone on grammar maybe you should avoid using made up words like "comparo".
I'm done spamming this thread with photography geek debates. I'm sure having the last word is in your DNA so have at it. The original poster is looking at possibly buying an entry level DSLR - hardly what we're talking about at this point.
