VERY VERY TRUE.

i have an EOS 1DMKII and put an average lens on it before i got a decent L series lens and there is no comparison. buy the absolute bes lenses you can afford!!

ive spent over 10K on excellent lenses and have never looked back.

the only thing with digital now is that the quality of the camera actually matters. ie sensor size, megapixels etc. this usually means that the bigger and better the sensor/resolution the more ridiculous the price, the CANON EOS 1DSMKII is 12K body only.
