I've explained that the maximum resolution of the LS-2000 (at 2700 dpi, the
highest optical resolution it provides) is 53 lp/mm, and that this resolution is
more than sufficient for just about any handheld 35mm photograph.

For what it is worth, even at 40 lp/mm, few Leica lenses preserve more than 50%
modulation or so at this frequency for more than a few millimetres off the
optical axis.  Lenses from most other manufacturers are, of course, generally
much worse.
