Canon even talks about

Suitable isn't the same thing as "optimal". Remember, Canon is in the
business of selling people things, They sell you a 17-40, then 4 years
later they come out with a "digitally optimized" version and get to sell
another batch of the same focal length lenses. Watch and see if this
doesn't happen.


Every company in the world is in the business of selling things, to
people or corporations, goods and/or services.

When one is able to find almost any product now that's "optimized for
digital", such as speaker wire, then it's the marketing guys doing it. I
may have even spotted a rack to hold tapes and CDs that was "digital". (!)
