I'm sorry, Mr Hall, but I'll have to disagree. If an optical lab were to 
establish which lens was better: Canon, or Nikon, or whatever; it would not put 
an end to mailing lists. The mailing lists would cease discussing the quality 
of the lenses and would start debating the quality of the optical lab! 

(BTW, Canon rulz! Especially fifty year old ones like my Canon FX's!)

  Richard, 

  By and large testing like that could bring an end to mailing lists. :)

        i'd get it for you but i'm a canon 'fan' and don't like nikon.
        their lenses focus in the wrong direction.
        ;)



           Wasn't there a similar debate years ago about Rodenstock vs
      Schneider lenses?  :)

         More to the point,  the D4 is supposed to be built like a tank for
      heavy duty use by photo journalists, etc.  Thing is for my personal use,
      I see no need for it over my Nikon D7000, which is about 1/6th the
      cost.  On the other hand, when the new 36 meg, full frame D800 comes
      out..... temptation, temptation.........

       Bottom line is, I love my D7000, but with the new year, I am looking
      at stocking up on  some more 4x5 tri-x.   Totally different animals, but
      I love my Nikon D7000 as much as I love my Tachihara 4x5. I figure
      it's like owning a Mustang and a Jeep at the same time, just depends on
      where you are going and what kind of mood you are in.
      :D



       There was a long standing debate regarding Canon vs: Nikon lenses and 
another regarding Zeiss vs: Schneider, probably others too. I suppose someone 
with a real optical lab could resolve (ouch!) this.
