RE: EOS Used D60?

[Ken Durling]

Well, you're talking about one of the sharpest 35mm lenses ever there!  Not 
really an in joke, since many people recognize Kiron lenses as top 
quality.  Not only that, but much of the FD glass is as sharp if not 
sharper than its EF equivalent, like the 50/1.8.  It's a lot of why I keep 
both kits, I've got lots of great glass at a fraction of the cost.

I think other advances have been made in lens design, but not necessarily 
critical sharpness.

Was the reference to Kiron and inside joke between you and Ken?  Reason I 
wonder is that I've got a Kiron 105mm in Olympus mount that's sharper than 
my Canon "L" glass.  I guess maybe I shouldn't have been surprised at that 
since the L lenses are zooms and the Kiron is a prime but I was expecting 
that 25 years of advancements in lens design would have bridged the gap.
