    raf you are correct. I'm not a physicist either but I did study photographic optics in college. Lenses do have a limitation to how much they can resolve, which as V3 linked can be measured, usually in the form of a MTF chart. But this usually is not the limiting factor in a cameras final resolution. It's usually the senor.

    Here's an odd fact. The smaller a lens the higher it's ability to resolve. But at the same time then you en up with a smaller image circle, which limits the size of senors that can be used.
