Mike,

It really depends. You say that you are a really really good printer. Your
magazine is terrific and I believe you are a really good printer. If you are
as good as you say you are I am certain that I would be able to see the
differences between inferior and superior lenses. Are you able to bring out
the very best a lens has to offer?
