Digital imaging sensors, at this point in time, are the great equalizer.  A
Leica or Canon or Zeiss lense will NOT give you a better image than a Sigma
lense with a digital sensor.  Yes, some characteristics MAY be
noticeable...but from my experience (and I've been using digital cameras for
10 years now), they aren't.

The digital sensors require far less lp/mm than film does, since digital
sensors have much larger sensing elements than film does...and therefore,
the extra resolution is actually a deficit.  Through the use of a low pass
filter over the digital sensor, only so much lp/mm will actually get to the
sensor, therefore rendering the higher lp/mm lenses, well, basically,
useless.
