At 8x10 I can very easily tell the shots from my Oly Mju II (35/2.8 prime lens) from those taken with my Pentax K-mount lenses. Except those taken with my former A 28-80 zoom.

At 4x6 it depends a lot of the lab, but for films of same brand and ISO processed by a decent lab the same day, you can see the differences, especially if you know what to look at.

Wrong again. The equalizer is the quality of 4x6 prints one gets from the lab. You wouldn't tell the difference between leica and a single use camera (except maybe for distortion). Why on earth someone would want to use an expensive lense if they never see the results? Even for 8x10 prints any decent P&S would give sufficient quality (unless you are looking through the loupe). I suspect, general public may start caring about lens quality once they see the image on the screen at pixel-to-pixel resolution.

Yes, and the great equalizer is His Majesty The El Cheapo 28-80 Zoom. Greatly helped by AF technology limits combined with poor viewfinders.
