You have that backwards.

You can stop down to smaller apertures on larger format systems with the same effect from diffraction on your photograph that you would get at larger apertures on a smaller format. In other words, \"it hits\" later and is less noticeable at any compared aperture.

Go here: http://www.bobatkins.com/photography/technical/diffraction.html

Scan down to charts for different formats.

Think of it this way. For diffraction with measured diameter X, X is a smaller percentage of the frame size with larger formats, thus a particular measured absolute size of \"blur\" from diffraction has less effect with a larger sensor/film format.

Make sense?
