Just because I just read it again in a forum: No, lenses were already razor sharp in the 19th century. The fact that people usually didn't look sharp was due to the long exposure times (ISO #collodion: 0.25). If you shine 6000 Ws of light on a person for a collodion #portrait , you also get the impression of the capabilities of a lens from 1882.

@erik and try this without a digital screen between you and the original. it's a sight to behold!
@DetersHenning Indeed. Wetplates look even more spectacular in the original. I also always like to mount them “floating” in an object frame so that they can be better perceived as plates.
@erik (the portrait is fascinating, btw. i can't look away.)
