Certainly there can be big different in performance between different brand
of lenses, it need experience and trained eyes to see. You may not be able
to identify the shooting lenses from a photo but you will know it by side to
side compare. When you are experience enough, use a lens for a few times you
will immediately know its characters and each lens do have its own (of
course some may be very similar), you need to know it very well in order to
make the best use out of it.
Lens may be the least important item for a good shot, but it is the factor
most easy to control. Artistic mind, good lighting, technical know-how and
experience are the things that money cannot buy. Just a good lens cannot
make a good shot, but it can make the good shot better.
My two cents.
