I'm one of those who can see the difference between photos made with R glass and those made with N**** hardware, and given the parameters of this game I doubt anyone will see much difference (aside from the obvious, i.e., a 180mm image is probably a Nikkor). Given B&W jpg images from negs processed in crappy chemicals viewed on a computer screen, I'll pass on this game. I see the difference with Kodachromes or good E6 stuff on a lightbox, a decent projector, or a high-resolution scan. I also see a difference in my own compositions in that there are lighting situations I avoided with Nikkors because of lens flare that are not a problem with the R lenses.
