[LRflex] Re: (LRflex) Shopping Frustration

My father-in-law has the Nikon 105 on his D-300.  Hard to compare since we are 
two different photographers.  But I thinks his best shots are not on par with 
mine, as far as quality of the image are concerned.  I would say, looking at 
his work, in general, the NikonD300 does a far better job than my Canon Rebel 
for the pixel peeing quality, but my lenses outperform his.  does that make 
sense?
