How much sharpness is enough? Is photography about sharpness?

Abu, are you saying 85L is a lesser lens?

I am holding out for an Otus 85, Marco. As you yourself said in another thread, some people are easily impressed with lesser lenses.

Marco will Know what I am saying. After all he is one, by his own admission, who is not easily impressed , unlike the other riff-raff. The blade cuts both ways.

What an appropriate comment on a gear forum, on a thread discussing an L lens, one that costs nearly $2,000. Case in point that many here will condescendingly snicker at lesser lenses and the choices of other forum members, many of whom do not have large budgets, but rather conveniently would change the subject when the shoe is on the other foot.

Don't like DXO, do you? No worries, mate. Here's Lenstip:

But you are right. It's not all about resolution. You want to see CA performance?
