But if you take away the practical limitations, then bigger aperture = more potential resolution. Anyone want a sensor capable of out resolving a diffraction limited f/1.4 lens or faster? <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

I just found it curious that in practice, the "sweet spot" for both formats happened to be around f/4 even with their density differences. Assuming diffraction was the limit when stopping down, intuitively you'd think the FF ones would be much further down from the relative pixel sizes.
