Strangely enough I agree with the quoted statement. For a while I was into 
pinhole photography and converted one of my Leicas into the world's most 
expensive pinhole camera. It required drilling a hole in a body cap and cementing a 
foil with a pinhole over the hole. The pictures were beautiful examples of 
impressionistic pinhole art, fuzzy but with no distortion or color abberation. 
Unfortunately I couldn't hold the camera steady enough for tripodless exposures. 
This supports Mark's assertion tha the tripod is more important than the glass.
