Digital BW, The Print

"In all these discussions, there is no mention of the impact of the lens on 
the printing
resolution,  For the example Canon 8 mega pixels digitals with an "L" lens 
vs a Leica 8
mega pixel, digital with Leica lenses."

There's an article in the current issue of "Photo Techniques" magazine 
comparing the Canon Mark II (or whatever the 16 mp Canon camera is called, I 
can't keep up with all the different letters and numbers of digital cameras) 
using an L lens with a Leica R9 (Leica's SLR) using a digital back of about 
9 mps as I recall and of course a Leica lens. The conclusion was that the 
Leica was better despite the lower mp count. But best of all according to 
the author was using an adapter and putting the Leica lens on the Canon 
camera. I mention this not to prove anything about Leica or Canon but just 
as an example of a test that did take lenses  into account.
