Of course it's about the "results,"
whether one uses 80 mp medium format backs or a Diana.

Yet when we purchase a lens and can't stand looking at the pixels
that lens produces - then we're not getting the "results" - are we?

The fact that a famous photographer uses a lens with the same name and 
numbers
does not mean our copy of that lens is automatically a wonderful performer;
or make our photographs into his famous photographs.

Why would I shoot with a 16 - 35 canon on my (then 10D and 20D)
when the 10 - 22 out performed it by a mile
or on the 5D
when the
21 SA R,
24 elmarit R,
35 summicron R,
35 summilux R, 
28 elmarit and summicron,
35 lux asph
shot the pants off it
and
even the lowly 15mm Wide-Heliar put it to shame?
