It just isn't very important to the vast majority of people who look at photographs. I realize that it IS very important to many of the LUGers, but is becomming less and less so for me. AFAIC, all lens made since the 60s by any of the major camera companies (i'm familiar with Minolta, Leica, and Nikon, and extrapolating to the others) are simply sharp enough. If I could mount my Minolta lenses on my M6, I'd do it in a flash. Dan C.
