Just attended a gathering of my extended family. This made me re-think the desirebility of sharp lenses -- most of my siblings and cousins look older in the photos I took than I remember them being :-)
But I have to "share" and incident that happened at the gathering:
There must have been a half dozen or so with DSLRs. We were taking a group shot of the "next generation" and I asked my Uncle to move to the side. My Uncle likes to one-up others, and he said "You don't have a zoom lens? You'll have to wait till we're done." (I was using a 50mm f/1.4 on a 5D w/ battery grip and 580EX, he had a D70 and consumer zoom).
Now this Uncle was a teen-ager durring World War II, and has a perhaps oudated view of Japanese quality. I just looked at his camera and said "You're using a Nikon? Did you know those are made in Japan?" He was speechless.
