It\'s a very rare lens that needs to be stopped down into diffraction territory to perform best. Shooters who will be using cameras like this are landscape and fashion shooters, which are often at f/8-f/16 on FF for requried depth of field. Almost all lenses are already at or beyond peak sharpness at those apertures, and those shooting this camera would need f/10 - f/20 for the same depth of field, where they too will be at or beyond peak sharpness.
Hi Jordan,
At least for large format film lenses they needed to be stopped way down to reach their best performance. I am not sure if that was by design but...

How is this an advantage then? If the MF lenses need to be stopped down well beyond what a 35mm lens needs to be stopped down for peak sharpness, this would increase the chances of diffraction becoming an issue.
