Subject: [Leica] 50AA: What does it mean for film users?

There are some reports that the lens has more resolution than an M9 or M9m.
While this may indicate a future higher resolution digi-M, it also means
that the lens is overkill on an M9/M9m.

 

Leica is not stupid...

 

Is there some "advantage" for film users to have this lens in their arsenal?
Is this the Holy Grail of film lenses?

Is there a film in production that can support the 50AA resolution?
