I've seen an experimental imager (an array, not a scanned device)
at 60+ megapixels.

Is it realistic to consider modern 35mm film cameras (including
the optics) as providing 35 megapixel resolution?

I assume the "100 LPMM" refers to information recorded on a negative.
Does the 2-step processing of slide film have any effect on resolution?

What is the effective resolution of 3.5" or 4" prints made by a 1-hour
processor from 35mm color negatives?

For a traditional stereo slide system (camera lens plus slide film plus
viewer optics, or camera lens plus slide film plus projector optics plus
screen characteristics), what would be a realistic estimate of the resolution?
