I don't believe that at all. I
still believe that differences in IQ between two high quality primes
(even between a $400 prime and a $1500 prime) are overwhelmed by the
difference in the sensor size. Don't you think that if we reversed the lenses (ie, stopped down the shorter lens and cropped the longer), the stopped down lens would come out ahead?
