Part of what some of this reveals - and the digital-picture web site examples support - is that we all may be a bit over-focused on the lens resolution measurements as a differentiator among lenses. Basically, all of these examples are very good and any of them could be used to produce excellent and very large prints.
It was also interesting to me to see the direct comparisons between various lenses and the EF 50mm f/1.4.
Additionally, it is worth noting that some of the differences become moot once you run the photos through typical raw conversion processes, which today do a fine job of equalizing various kinds of distortion and removing CA.
It recently occurred to me that I can do certain focal lengths in up to four different ways at this point, and that it might be fun and instructive to make a series of photographs at, say, 35mm using all four possibilities, take all of them through my normal post-production work flow, and then compare the results. Sounds like a project that I\'ll put on my to-do list...
