Eclair ACL the lens debate

[shaktilarry@cs.com]

Zeiss lenses do seem to be hard to come by for less than a fortune in the 
terms of low budget filmmaking especially wider angle primes. As a member of 
this list who is trying to beef his ACL into an excellent rig to shoot 
anything, I was wondering if someone would take the time to explain some 
tests that I could use to understand the prime v. zoom lens debate for 
myself. Some say that an ACL could shoot as well as an SR any day. Aren't 
there any lenses that shoot just as well as zeiss lenses? Also, during the 
previous debate there was a mention of what year the zoom was made in and how 
that affected the quality of the lens, are there any articles available 
online on this subject? Lastly, I understand shooting for a look but I would 
rather start with the best image possible and then change the look via 
filters, lighting, stock etc. So, advice for standard 16?
Thanks,
Larry
