[QUOTE="PapaST, post: 411253, member: 8330"] I'm kind of building off what Marcel just said. Some things I've been hearing about lenses vs. MP and I don't quite understand. I'll either hear or read about a higher MP camera (like a 24MP crop frame or 36MP full frame) and I see the comment that "you'll need today's lens" to take advantage of the high MPs. Is that because older lenses aren't as sharp? Or because "today's lenses" are more optimized for higher MPs somehow? I never quite understood that. I guess older lenses are inherently less sharp (since you would assume every lens manufacturer strives to make sharper lenses) but I know there are some really sharp old ones. So is it because they lack some kind of lens coating? Or something? [/QUOTE]
