it doesn't matter. the difference between the best lenses and the next
quality is much higher on the *istD than on film. a top lens will still be a
top lens. a good lens on film isn't a good lens on digital anymore. a very
good lens might or might not be. the 1.5 crop factor for switching to the
*istD increases the differences between lens sharpness. lenses that deliver
resolution much higher than the sensor is capable of will continue to be
excellent lenses. ones that are getting down to the sensor's resolution are
going to look at lot worse on the *istD than on film.

Are you looking at your results on equal size prints with the
same field of view (8x10s from the results on film with say a
50mm vs a comparable 35mm on the DSLR?) or are you looking at a
pixel for pixel display straight out of the camera and comparing
that to ?? for the film camera?
