There's a lot of subjectivity that goes into the worth of a tool. How much do
you value accurate, saturated colors? What value do you place on the last 10%
of resolution (however that's measured)?
When discussing the merits of the 280mm f/4 APO-Telyt, I feel the same way Aram
does about the 100 APO. I can certainly make pictures with a less-expensive
lens (and I did so for many years), but the image quality the 280 APO delivers
inspires me to use it more, and to make the extra effort to get the most out of
the lens. I haven't figured out how to put a monetary value on this. This
might sound like an evasive non-answer but the value and worth of the tool is
something only you can determine for yourself.
