50mm APO: How good is it with film?

[BjarniM]

I think I've read somewhere that the 50mm APO was made with high resolution sensors in mind.

Is it 'waste' of a good lens using it for shooting film? Tri-X and Portra 400 for example?

How good is the 50mm APO when shooting film? Do you have some examples when shot with film?

He's extremely talented and often uses the 50 APO with film.

+1, he’s an excellent photographer, who also exemplifies what the APO can achieve in combo with both colour and B&W films.

I wouldn’t say wasted, but maybe not able to extract all the potential. Tri-X specifically has pretty low resolution.

Not that that should prevent you from using that Tri-X, with or without the APO. But one might like TMY more...
