Well said and so true.

In Ansel Adams autobiography he talks about an answer to a letter from Edward Weston asking for a recommendation for a "sharp lens." Adams comments were, "Any good modern lens is corrected for maximum definition at the larger stops. Using a small stop only increases death...." This was written in 1937.

The reason photographs don't please us or bland and don't communicate anything in reality has little to do with the lens and all with the vision of the person behind the camera.
