> Plus you can always achieve it in post, but you can't make a dreamy-glowy photo sharp. Actually it is possible to mostly get rid of the kind of flare I am talking about in post. It depends on the lens but often the are actually have high resolution wide open, just the flare makes them look softer. > A sharp lens is strictly more useful in the digital era. Sure, if sharpness is the only criteria you judge usefulness by. Nifty 50 lenses are still tiny and cheap and sharp enough for most things.
