01 / RESOLUTION PLAYGROUND

Compare film resolution by frame size

Choose the frame dimensions and a resolution test criterion.

Image area
Enter exact dimensions

Image-area scenarios; actual camera gates vary. A preset does not mean every stock is available in that format.

IMAGE AREA / CONSTANT SCALE
36 × 24 mm864 mm²

1.00× the area of a 36 × 24 mm frame

Kodak KODACOLOR 100: no resolution input at this criterion / scope.

02 / CONTRAST SWITCH

Choose the resolution criterion

Frequency where contrast transfer falls to 50%. Graph readings are approximate; ranges span color-layer curves, not confidence bounds.

03 / FILM COMPARISON

Compare up to three films

Use the same test criterion and frame dimensions for each film.

36 by 24 millimetres. MTF50. Kodak KODACOLOR 100: unavailable. Fujichrome Velvia 50: 7.5 megapixels, Approximate graph reading

Highlighted rows differ between selections. Results use ideal two-sample spatial sampling; they are not measured digital-camera ratings. Lens, exposure, development and scanning also affect delivered detail.

Scanner file size is a separate calculation

A 36 × 24 mm frame sampled at 4,000 PPI creates approximately 21.4 million pixels. That file size does not establish resolved film detail.
