No argument, Marc. One must pay several times more to gain slight increases
in goodness after the basics are satisfied. The price vs.quality curve is
asymptotic
However, you just can't call Nikon & Canon optics junk. When you compare
their best against Zeiss and Leitz, they acquit themselves very well. I
understand bias, and am guilty of it, but also am aware of mine.
