I have the Canon 20D, and it can clearly see the quality difference (on the screen and in print) between my 100mm Apo Macro and my 85mm Canon lens (which is no slouch either). I am making this particular comparison because the 85 is the closest I have to the 100. In my opinion good glass is good glass, whether the photons hit film or a sensor. Yes, you can correct many things in Photoshop but you cannot make a silk dress out of a sow's ear.
