I intended to refer directly to Franks "M8 camera body" issues.
If you hang state-of-the-art glass on a digital camera body
and can't achieve a "sharp" image file something is seriously "wrong"
with that camera body.

"Great" photographs = another topic altogether;
and has little to do with: camera, digital, film, format, lens, etc.;
and has everything to do with the photographer's
vision, access, tenacity, etc.
