Lens sharpness:
Perhaps it is the case that the sharpness of the lens never needs to exceed
the resolution of the film.  I don't know much about view cameras, but I 
believe that the best transparency film you can get in sheets is Ektachrome 64.
Placed against 35mm Kodachrome, the former is considerably grainier and
less sharp.  Of course, enlargements to equal sized prints will show the
view camera to have far greater resolution.  But take a square centimeter
from both originals, and the 35mm will have the higher resolution image.
