As I've said a hundred times, if not a thousand...why on earth are you
comparing sharpened images with unsharpened images and saying the sharpened
ones are shaper?  No kidding.

Well, no, not if you sharpen BOTH images the same...

No.  Currently FILM resolves more, period, not debatable.  "Resolving" has
NOTHING to do with sharpness.
