Re: scientific... My original words were meant to mean that 'taking a 1000
frames with a number of lenses' on a film body and then comparing them to '
a 1000 frames taken with the same lenses on a digital body' is not a
conclusive test. Hardly anything could be determined unless they were taken
of the very same subjects, from the very same vantage point, under very
controlled conditions. And then studied very carefully. And then that
doesn't mean that a given lens still doesn't perform admirably in it's sweet
spot. Obviously a lens that performs admirably over a large range of
apertures and lighting conditions may be more desirable than one of more
'limited' usability.

Photography isnt pure art or pure science,
it's a blend of BOTH. For Example, The OSCARS are this
week, they are run by the Academy of Motion
Picture ARTS & SCIENCES. Same thing with
still photography IMHO. The SCIENCE enables the
ART.
