For what it is worth, on the Canon EOS list, a couple
(a few?) professionals are talking up the merits of good
glass, saying that bad glass in front of the newer sensors
(D60 and 1D/s) screams its lesser quality at you later
on in the resultant image (I'm not sure if they're just
talking sharpness, or also chromatic aberation - I know
the new 16-35 has had comments on its chromatic aberration,
though not of the "complete write-off" kind). One
professional over there who is quite forthright in their
opinions (and also quite knowledgeable and with firsthand
experience to back them up, and thus I've a lot of respect
for them myself) even suggested that the D60 highlights bad
glass more than film (I'm hoping I'm remembering this
subject correctly - consider it "gist" rather than "quote").
So, I wonder if it went away for a little while, Winsor,
with smaller sensors and with fewer users of digital SLR's
for anything other that newspaper-quality photos, but is
starting to come back as *the* topic for image-quality.
Cheers
