Also, at f/11 there really shouldn't be much difference. On film 
there wasn't any noticeable difference between the two lenses.

I did one comparison that might (or not :-)) be meaningful: Canon 5D 
with 100/2.8 USM macro, and M8 with 75/2. Both lenses are much more 
capable than the sensors, especially at mid apertures. The 5D 
produces larger files than the D200 and M8 so the difference wasn't 
that great, but the M8 still produced the crisper, more detailed 
images.
