Highlighted the fact that the lens should be the limiting factor
Feb 11, 2017 at 17:51 comment added Michael C Perceptible diffraction is always based upon the sensor's (or film's) resolution limit. Whatever diffraction happens at aperture settings wider than the DLA of the sensor are beyond the ability of the sensor to record. It makes no difference if you have a perfect dot .001µm wide or a blurry disc 2µm wide if the sensor's pixels are 4µm wide. Both will look the exactly the same as recorded by that sensor.

Clarified question further, stressing the fact that diffraction itself does not need to be explained

Feb 10, 2017 at 16:34 comment added Michael C In part it depends on what you mean when you say "diffraction limit?" The diffraction limited aperture when the effects of diffraction are first barely perceptible or the much narrower diffraction cutoff frequency?
