Should Sigma make a 30 MP per layer full-frame Foveon instead of 20 MP per layer?

Not all photos or paintings have any details, and it isn't always appropriate, especially for portraits. But many pictures of landscapes or architecture, general street views with a crowd of people, and so on, do; and they reward close examination.

The Sigma cameras are particularly suited to taking detailed photos.

Obviously most non photographers are interested only in the general subject: they want to know who it's a picture of, and have no interest in lighting, composition, white balance, or resolution -- and certainly not in bokeh.

Two summers ago I stumbled across an old photo, I think it was a contact print from a negative bigger than 8x10.

It must have been from before ww1, it featured a group photo of a military school, a lot of cadets, maybe 70 or more, all wearing uniform, posing on the stairs in front of the main building entrance.

the detail was incredible, you could clearly make everybody faces's features, every detail of the uniforms, it had a striking quality. Something that modern printers simply cannot even dream to achieve.

Probably a perfect print from a perfect exposure, made by an amazing photograper.

probably similar to the result that [Calvin] Grier is able to achieve with a DITR negative.

there are no doubts about it, resolution does matter.

It does not make a good photo, but it matters.

What is DITR film?
