You do see more resolution from it when you are using 36 MP FF sensor (compare to 21 MP FF Canon) ? This is what my experience too, when using 18 MP APSC. I compare it with APSC crop from 5DII (21 MP --> 8 MP). The result is 18 MP APSC has more resolution. The lens is support that density, at least in the center of the lens. Can't say for the corner of the lens, since my 7D is using only the center of it.
Then I imagine they'd not care about FF vs crop, either.
My post was a sharing moment with all dpr fellows and not a threat to Canon. Sorry, for that there must be a complain department at Canon Inc.
Of course 36mp > 21mp to have more resolution. Of course your 7D will resolve more if you shoot from the same distance and unable to move closer such as in moon shot than your 5D2.

True.
NO
YES
YES. Resolution of the lens and pixel density of the sensor go hand in hand. If you have a small sensor with a big number of pixels (50mp as you suggest) than
But it has. The maximum sharpness (and so the resolution) of a lens is achieved at 1-2 stops down from it's maximum aperture. So if you have let's take for example an 50mm f1.4 than to use the maximum resolution of the lens you would have to shoot at f2. And then you have a very shallow depth of field. That is why we say that you have DOF control actually, not because you cannot achieve the DOF you want. FF can achieve shallower DOF than APSC or MFT. But in order to achieve maximum sharpness you need to shoot at a wide aperture and so you have a very shallow depth of field.
The actual, aka, perceptual resolution is less than sensor resolution affected by many factors, sensor crop format, lens...larger sensor format, better lens, less loss in resolution.
Belong to areas of better techniques.
Yes for those Facebook and regular family photos.
Thanks. At this moment 12mp is not enough for me. 22mp is OK as I only have 2650x1440 resolution monitor at this moment, but 36mp is ideal when I own a 4K monitor as usually 50% of crop has the best displaying quality. When one day there is a 8K monitor, then even 36mp is not enough and want a 54mp then.
Not really for resolution but for UWA and pano purposes. There is no lens can record such wide angle near 180 degree with reasonable resolution and virtually without distortion. I have lots of pano photos to be processed in my recent central EU trip.
