Beg to differ.
For sure, sensors have improved immensely.
But while I cherish my optics, I upgrade my camera bodies often, simply to take closer scrutiny of what the glass has to offer.
I've put together
a small web page here to illustrate what I'm on about.
Sure, going from a 52mm diameter objective, to a 100mm is not the same as comparing a 300mm vs 400mm aperture telescope.
But I'd suggest we are simply talking shades of grey here.
To argue a 3" objective with say 1 micron pixels, can capture the same detail as a 30" and 10 micron pixels is a nonsense. You just need to decide where along the continuum you want to operate.
