I can't speak for Herb but I don't put poor lenses in front of film either, because ultimately it's a waste of my time and effort. The *ist D 6MP sensor will allow discrimination between good and bad lenses but at the resolution threshold there is no visible difference whereas on high resolution film there was a visible difference using the same lenses.
