I didn't say that the Canon lenses were crap, as a matter of fact Canon 
makes some
very, very good lenses. I said that post processing an image will only 
get you so far. You can correct all kinds of things to a certain 
extend, but in the end post processing is a band aid and so substitute 
for a high quality capture. Garbage in = garbage out. You can't make up 
information that isn't in the negative and you can only correct things 
like softness, blooming etc to a certain point. Trust me, I've had to 
attempt to fix such things at my job, thousands of times more than I 
care to admit.
