I think this proves a point.  Just get out and shoot. These things are
almost always more capable than I am of achieving great pictures.

Forty years ago we were landing men on the moon.  We were not as technically
inferior back then as we think. There were many refinements through the
years--mostly in coatings and aspherical-shaped elements, but some lenses
reached the pinnacle of design early on.  For the last 15 of those 40 years,
development has been in zoom lenses, anyway.
