 All this talk about lens resolution, reminds me of a tale that I was once
 told by Bob Schwalberg.  A famous photojournalist friend of his had asked
 him about a new lens that had just been released.  After Bob painstakingly
 explained the lens design, the friend said, "Hmmm, so they made the lens
 sharper."  When Bob said that that was indeed the case, the friend said, "I
 wonder if the manufacturer thinks that by doing that it would reveal more
 thruth."
